Laura Doe (1350 KP) rated Yinka, Where Is Your Huzband? in Books
Jan 22, 2022
We are introduced to Yinka and her family at her younger sister’s baby shower. Being from a Nigerian family, Yinka is feeling a lot of pressure from her family and especially her mother to find herself a husband and is constantly being asked why she is single as well as being prayed for at every opportunity.
Yinka is my age, and goes through the same thoughts that I do about being single which makes her extremely relatable to me and that could be what has made me love her character so much. Although I don’t have the pushy family, some of the thoughts that she has do resonate with me as a single woman. And I’m glad that towards the end of the book she started to embrace her singledom with both hands and decide to love herself.
I loved how this was written and how interspersed with the story there were whatsapp messages, voicemail messages, reminders, post it notes, status updates and googled questions littered throughout the pages, it felt like a real life and helped you to imagine Yinka as a real person with everything going on being presented to you in those forms. It also broke up the story slightly and helped to move things on when needed.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this turns out to be this years must read book, and I will definitely be recommending it to anyone that asks. Thank you to NetGalley and Lizzie Damilola Blackburn for the privilege of reading this book in return for an honest review, and I hope that this is not the last that I see of Yinka.

Merissa (12929 KP) rated Alex (Alex #1) in Books
Mar 6, 2024
Alex is a complex character - at times appearing like a small boy - which is no real surprise considering what he has been through. Jane is seven years older than him and has been by his side since he first came to her house, rescued by her dad. He is also a divisive character - some people like him, but a lot don't. Creg, Brad, and Dr Bennett, to name some. Alex also has friends in Angie, Justin, Becca, and Ben, the local police chief. It's a good job too, as he gets into situations that look bad for him.
If anything could go wrong for Alex, it did. He is kidnapped multiple times, gets attacked, tortured (again), assaulted, knifed, and shot at! I would be a nervous wreck. There was so much going on in this story, I sometimes forgot what the main storyline actually was, especially with so many characters, including some who just appear and seem to have no real purpose to the story.
On the whole, this was a gripping book with brilliant (albeit horrible) descriptions, but I was left wanting more that I hope will be covered in future books in the series - more about Alex, his past, and how he deals with his visions and migraines in the future.
