“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!

Editor's Pick
The wedding date
My Caribbean heritage shares a lot of similarities with Nigerian culture, so I deeply empathized with Yinka’s plight in this lovable debut from Lizzie Damilola Blackburn. As her sister and cousins are getting married and having babies all around her, Yinka is left to answer the question
Where is your huzband? at every turn by her overbearing but well-meaning family. When her cousin Rachel gets engaged, Yinka comes up with a plan to have a date to the wedding in six months. The hilarious, endearing, and utterly relatable high jinks that ensue had me cheering her on every step of the way. I won’t spoil the ending as to whether she ends up with a date for the wedding, but seeing Yinka find herself on this journey was all the happy ending I needed. This novel was a joy to listen to. —Margaret H., Audible Editor
