Now this one… The title grabbed me, especially after loving Kuku’s Nearly All Men in Lagos Are Mad. But honestly, I’m torn. I didn’t love it, but I didn’t hate it either.
Temi’s obsession with enhancing her bum bum, no matter the risks, was wild. Even when warned she could die, she was like, “And so? I will still do it.” A truly unserious girl! But beyond the humour, the book touches on serious topics like body image issues, insecurities, and the pressure women face to look a certain way.
The story is told from different POV’s from Temi, her sister, mum, Big Mummy, and Aunty Junmai, each with their own experiences of madness. While this added some depth, it also made the story feel a bit scattered and sometimes confusing.
Despite these issues, Kuku’s blend of humour and social commentary kept it entertaining. She’s great at making you laugh while also making you think.
While Only Big Bum Bum Matters Tomorrow wasn’t exactly what I expected, it definitely gave me some laughs. If you’re in the mood for a read that challenges beauty standards with some humour, it’s worth checking out.
