Ola Awonubi nailed this to a tee. Humorous. Relatable. Bloody Brilliant.

Sade is a fifty year old single Nigerian woman who is under enormous pressure from her mother and the busybody aunties to get married.

This is an exposé into what it is to be a single Nigerian woman-a matured single Nigerian woman in a society that defines you not by what you’ve achieved professionally but by your love life or the lack of it.

MMAA blends faith, culture, tradition into a journey of self love, self awareness, resilience and respect.

The author told this story accurately with all the theatrics and shenanigans of the typical Nigerian mother. All of the characters delivered what was expected of them.

It was engaging and entertaining and interesting. I couldn’t put it down and didn’t want it to end. 

If you love reading books about older protagonists, other cultures then you should read this.

I received an advanced copy and the review is mine and voluntary.
