Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
MARIE CLAIRE 'BEST BOOKS OF 2022' AND FEBRUARY PICK FOR MALALA'S LITERATI BOOKCLUB
Yinka wants to find love. Her mum wants to find it for her.
She also has too many aunties who frequently pray for her delivery from singledom, a preference for chicken and chips over traditional Nigerian food, and a bum she's sure is far too small as a result. Oh, and the fact that she's a thirty-one-year-old South-Londoner who doesn't believe in sex before marriage is a bit of an obstacle too...
When her cousin gets engaged, Yinka commences 'Operation Find A Date for Rachel's Wedding'. Armed with a totally flawless, incredibly specific plan, will Yinka find herself a huzband?
What if the thing she really needs to find is herself?

A heart warming story
I thoroughly enjoyed this story, it is extremely relatable as a dark skin Nigerian woman at the same point in my life and having once lived in Peckham. It touched on such important topics that should be corrected especially for the growing younger ladies.

Rises above cliche
This is a book about finding yourself and discovering values that matter. This risk predictability and cliche and indeed some plot elements follow an unsurprising path. Nevertheless there is such an evocation of person and culture, told with a sympathetic wit with some wry and perceptive observation that it rises above that and is an uplifting book of affirmation. It’s is superbly narrated to so you KNOW the characters

Brilliant, nuanced narrative
Wholesome read, really well written with tough subjects (colourism, mysogynoir, inter generational tension with culture in first generation blacks brits) but not heavy with trauma etc.
Explores difficult relationships between women at different
'stages and tensions with (idk what wave of feminism we're currently in) and wanting love / traditional romantic setups
and inter generational expectations and motivations for parents / aunties pushing for young women to 'settle down' with nuance and grace.

Great storytelling
The story was well written and told. Even though I am not a south London girl or millennial, I could relate to the themes.

Very authentic book
Love this book so much. For me the originality is spot on. The author has clearly done her work and researched thoroughly. This book is well written and well read. From start to finish I was captivated. Well done.

At last, proper proper Naija
My wife and I (non-Nigerian south Londoners) thoroughly enjoyed this book. The rom com style story line is very predictable but flavoured with the richness of 'proper' Naija immigrant parent vs their British Nigerian child. As south Londoners, we recognised the themes here which were at times LOL funny, brought to life by the narrator. The mixture of British Nigerian and proper proper Naija was this audiobooks' best feature in our opinion. This is a far cry from years prior, narrators attempting an accent. For those of us in very close contact with proper proper Naija, we can wholly appreciate this. Thanks to the author and audible for choosing to remain authentic. Lets hope we see books like these turned into a TV series.
