I really appreciated this story of a single, black, British, 37-year old woman navigating the dating scene and society's expectations of her, and her hopes for herself. It was fun, emotional, and reflective.

There were times when my engagement with the book did dip and there were some depictions of spirituality that left me a little on the fence, but overall I'm really glad I read this book and there are some things I'm taking away to apply to my own dating life.
