Description
“Yinka is a lovable and relatable disaster—which is to say, she isn’t actually a disaster at all...I adore her.”—Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers
“Feel good, funny, and clever, it’s got smash-hit written all over it!” –Josie Silver, New York Times bestselling author of One Day in December
Meet Yinka: a thirty-something, Oxford-educated, British Nigerian woman with a well-paid job, good friends, and a mother whose constant refrain is “Yinka, where is your huzband?”
Yinka’s Nigerian aunties frequently pray for her delivery from singledom, her work friends think she’s too traditional (she’s saving herself for marriage!), her girlfriends think she needs to get over her ex already, and the men in her life…well, that’s a whole other story. But Yinka herself has always believed that true love will find her when the time is right.
Still, when her cousin gets engaged, Yinka commences Operation Find-A-Date for Rachel's Wedding. Aided by a spreadsheet and her best friend, Yinka is determined to succeed. Will Yinka find herself a huzband? And what if the thing she really needs to find is herself?
Yinka, Where is Your Huzband? is a fresh, uplifting story of an unconventional heroine who bravely asks the questions we all have about love. Wry, moving, irresistible, this is a love story that makes you smile but also makes you think--and explores what it means to find your way between two cultures, both of which are yours.
NAMED A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2022 BY MARIE CLAIRE, PARADE, ESSENCE, MS. MAGAZINE, Popsugar, Bustle, Bookriot, Debutiful and More!

As an expert in relationship-evasion and the host of the popular student radio show Brown Sugar, she’s made it her mission to make sure the women of the African-Caribbean Society at Whitewell University do not fall into the mess of “situationships”, players, and heartbreak. But when the Queen of the Unbothered kisses Malakai Korede, the guy she just publicly denounced as “The Wastemen of Whitewell,” in front of every Blackwellian on campus, she finds her show on the brink.

In her bones, Ricki knows that somewhere, a different, more exciting life awaits her. When regal nonagenarian Ms. Della invites her to rent the bottom floor of her Harlem brownstone, Ricki jumps at the chance for a fresh beginning.

In present-day California, Eleanor Bennett’s death leaves behind a puzzling inheritance for her two children, Byron and Benny: a black cake, made from a family recipe with a long history, and a voice recording. In her message, Eleanor shares a tumultuous story about a headstrong young swimmer who escapes her island home under suspicion of murder. The heartbreaking tale Eleanor unfolds, the secrets she still holds back, and the mystery of a long-lost child challenge everything the siblings thought they knew about their lineage and themselves.

It’s been five years since the accident that killed the love of her life and she’s almost a new person now—an artist with her own studio and sharing a brownstone apartment with her ride-or-die best friend, Joy, who insists it’s time for Feyi to ease back into the dating scene. Feyi isn’t ready for anything serious, but a steamy encounter at a rooftop party cascades into a whirlwind summer she could have never imagined: a luxury trip to a tropical island, decadent meals in the glamorous home of a celebrity chef, and a major curator who wants to launch her art career.

Ce que les critiques en disent
“The novel depicts the challenge of navigating two cultures, both of which Yinka is a part of and apart from. In her commitment to being her whole self and true to her faith and ideals, Yinka writes a prayer for herself, a rallying cry to which we can all shout, 'Amen!'”
—NPR
“Lizzie Damilola Blackburn's debut novel is incredibly relatable for anybody whose family members frequently question their relationship status. In Yinka, Where Is Your Huzband? a thirty-something Nigerian woman attempts to find herself a wedding date and learns some valuable lessons about life and love.”
—Marie Claire
“If…Yinka, Where Is Your Huzband? was to become a TV sitcom, it could run episode after episode, season after season, without losing steam on story material. Cheeky and entertaining, the novel, which spans just six months in the chaotic life of its British-Nigerian protagonist Yinka, packs in a whole lot of cross-cultural drama and social commentary with an easy-going, conversational style. Add romantic and professional mishaps, and complicated relationships among four Black women living in England, two of whom are Yinka’s cousins, and you have the makings of comedic gold.”

superb narration
The storyline was nice, not really new though. I especially enjoyed witnessing Yinka's slow (maybe not so slow) decline to rock bottom. It was hilarious to me, sort of brought to mind the main protagonists story in never have I ever. One new low everytime you think she has hit rock bottom. Behind the laughs though, it was thought provoking and the narrator made me love and care for Yinka.....her vulnerability was palpable. I would 100% listen to anything narrated by Ronke. Even a drug info sheet lol!.

Amazing, amazing, amazing
This book is fantastic, would highly recommend. The narration was so good, it was very emotive - some narration styles are so dry but this one did not disappoint. The writing and narration were both so funny and realistic. I enjoyed feeling like a fly on the wall but at the same time it felt as if Yinka was my friend and filling me in on her life. Ten out ten!!

I loved this book
I could relate to so many of the themes, especially self-love and breaking generational curses. I initially borrowed it from the library but bought it halfway through. Like Yinka’s therapist, my Caribbean background makes a lot of what she goes thru feel familiar. I understood her wanting things that have been ingrained in her while also wanting to just be loved for herself while never truly loving herself. I love her transformation, along with other characters around her. It was like reading a Sophie Kinsella or Marian Keyes but the main character looks and talks like me..their family, their friends think and act like mine. The audiobook just upped the story with real-like sounds like Yinka writing and sending texts. Ronke was an amazing narrator.

Loved the narration
I loved how the book touched on the major issues of self love and colorism in the African community. The culture of "sweeping every under the rug" not addressing issues in Nigerian families for fear of being labeled rude, and the comlicated dynamic of the mother and daughter relationship.

I kinda want to hear how the story goes afterwards...
I identify alot with Yinka... and even partially with her friend and cousins and even sister. I identify with the pressures she experiences especially from extended family...
what an enjoyable read
