I thoroughly enjoyed this story of Yinka which focused on the pressure to be something other than single by her family. Yinka was in her 30s and was constantly being told she wasn't good enough without a husband. Yinka tried changing herself, pursuing relationships at all costs and it just made her miserable. The Nigerian culture was fully embedded in this story which provided a rich backdrop to the cast and relationships.
My parting thought...being single isn't a fault, it's not always a choice either but it's okay to be single.
