I enjoyed this one and thought it was especially delightful to listen to! Maybe this is because I got to experience all of the narrator's lovely accents; it made me feel more immersed in the story. Overall, I liked the focus on remaining true to your values and refusing to acquiesce to societal, familial, and peer pressures. This book was at times hilarious but often poignant, particularly when Yinka's insecurities about her appearance came up. Colorism is a thing, y'all!

Although Yinka's goal is romance, the true outcome of the book is her character growth and the relationships she builds along the way. I'm only docking a star because it was a bit too long and I could feel myself growing impatient in some of the middle sections. Overall, this is a solid debut novel and I hope Damilola Blackburn is already working on her next one!
