the real trigger warning is colorism, not racism. it’s so nasty how parents really instill these insecurities in their children. if yinka had a better support system maybe she wouldn’t have been so damn childish. nonetheless this book was excellent.

Keep in mind that I'm basically allergic to contemporary romance, so that fact that I finished this one is probably the equivalent of a glowing five star review from someone who likes the genre. 

I really enjoyed some parts of this one, and the fact that a significant portion of the book was about friendships and family relationships instead of just covering romantic relationships. Sadly, the  main character's bad decisions and lies kept me from enjoying large swaths of the book.

Lizzie wrote this book beautifully. She challenges the thought that women need to be married before they are 30 and if they aren't they are spinsters. Yinka is 31 and single. She is having a bad year. Starting with her little sister gets married and is pregnant before her. She's been let go from her job instead of getting a promotion that she has been working hard for. She runs into her ex-fiancé and his new girlfriend. The topper is her cousin is getting married and her mother and aunties want her to bring a boyfriend. I love Yinka's friends and family. The way Nina and Yinka hang out together and have no problem speaking their truths. I enjoyed this book!
