The, book Yinka, where is your huzband is about acceptance of who you really are, and not seeking opinions of how about people look at you to determine who you really are.
Yinka, is a successful young woman who has a career, degree, a house, a car but hasn’t been lucky or successful in finding love or a husband. And this bothers her family especially her mother who feels like she’s getting old, now that Yinka turned 31 years old.
When her cousins get married, she is now even more pressured to at least go out and look for a date, making her sign up for dating apps like Tinder. By doing so she thinks that this action will finally help her answer the question that everyone wants and an answer for
“Where is your huzband?”
Well, it’s a hard journey for her since, she meet few dated along the way and they just don’t turn out to what she want for herself. Heartbreaks, tears, abuses you name it, not forgetting about falling for her friend instead of her. Let’s say it’s full of disappointments
The book covers the content about colourism and peer-pressure where the author takes us through on how Yinka managed to overcome and use to her advantage.
This book well, captures the situation, we find ourselves in because of the pressure we get from friends and family.
My take: This is a beautiful fun written story about love and acceptance and the characters and personalities in the book make the book ever more interesting to read.
