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 must listen!!! So relatable as an 1st daughter in African household. Give Lizzie and Ronke their flowers
30mins into it and I’ve been itching to write a review and I don’t usually review books. I have about an hour to go and I can’t wait any longer.
thank you for having someone who is Nigerian/of Nigerian heritage do the narration. Ronke captured the African Aunty and Yoruba sayings so well. It can be so irritating when you’re listening to a book that requires a nigerian accent being voiced by another African that doesn’t understand the phonetics.
I loved this book so much. It captures what many/if not most African 1st born daughter go through with their parents and extended families go through when they are approaching 30, unmarried and childless.
It also touches on the dynamics between cousins and siblings and how the pressure of getting married and popping babies out by a certain age can affect those relationships.
I look forward to reading more book by Lizzie. I’m trying not to give anything away. But stay away from men like Alex. Even me self, I’m angry at him unbehalf of Yinka.

My soul feels good
This book gave me all the feel. Listening to it was a good call because it made it better. If you are of African or Caribbean decent this will make you feel seen.

Touching and funny
Loved the narration and enjoyed this quirky romantic comedy. The plot was a bit predictable but the characters were great and provided some emotional depth to counter the sweetness of the story. A great, uplifting listen.

Highly recommend!
Found myself laughing out loud.
A great insight to Nigerian culture and marriage expectations.
Narration was amazing, totally able to distinguish between all the characters. Great to hear the modern London/Nigerian colloquialisms.
