Yinka, Where Is Your Huzband? | Lizzie Damilola Blackburn

Writing a romcom that a Black, British-Nigerian woman like herself could relate to was the task that Lizzie Damilola Blackburn set herself to. And did she succeed! Main character Yinka has an ex she has trouble forgetting, friends and cousins who are getting married all around and of course a mother and aunties who keep wondering when she'll finally bring a huzband home. A fun read which doesn't avoid the more difficult issues like colourism, conservative expectations in church and family and the question whether love is something that should be found at all.
