Blackburn, Lizzie Damilola

Blackburn’s debut is a captivating listen as narrator Ronke Adékoluejo brings Yinka and her many family members and friends to life; there are sound effects for the texts, emails, and spreadsheet edits that Yinka uses for “Operation Find Yinka a Wedding Date.” Listeners who appreciate stories about characters who struggle to find their identities amid familial and cultural expectations, like Sonya Lalli’s Serena Singh Flips the Script, will find much to love.

Readers who like the novels of Marian Keyes and Cecelia Ahern will find much to enjoy here.
