Yinka, Where is Your Huzband?

'Warm and fun and sweet' Marian Keyes, author of Grown Ups
'Hilarious, insightful and so uplifting' Beth O'Leary, author of The Road Trip
'Such a warm, funny and relatable book' Jendella Benson, author of Hope and Glory

-------------------------

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?
