I think this was a book I needed to read when I read it.

It follows Yinka, a Nigerian woman living in London, she is 31 with a little sister who is married and pregnant and now all her aunties are looking for her to be next. This with the added pressure of her cousin's wedding causes her to make a plan to have a date by then but is this really what she needs.

I think this book follows the pressures of families and singledom well. You get pulled into her family and although dramatic in a way I found them very realistic.

I also found the characters very realistic, they all had their struggles their ways of being and even as friends they were all flawed and j think that brings you into the story a lot better.

The truth is I thought it was going to be a very light read but as I read Yinka's journey I got to bits where I related a little too much and I appreciate that Blackburn was able to write her in such a way that even without an overbearing Nigerian family I was able to relate.

Overall, I would recommend it, it's fun but it also says a lot and I'm really glad I read it when I did.
