Yinka, Where Is Your Husband by Lizzie Damilola Blackburn

December 29, 2025 by Nart Leave a Comment

Plot: Yinka is a highly educated, successful businesswoman with a life and friends and a family intensely fixated on her lack of marital prospects.

A black Bridget Jones bemoaning the pressures of being single! But it was just . . . uninteresting. I mention Bridget Jones because 50% of the reviews I’ve read of it compare it to Bridget Jones’s Diary, and aside from this also focusing on singleness as a topic, they couldn’t […]
