Symona's Still Single by Lisa Bent
4.0
I really loved this book. It made me laugh, made me reflect and at times gave me goosebumps. When I read Lisa’s bio at the end it made so much sense that she’s a professional counsellor. This is a love story but the main character is falling in love with and getting to know herself (whilst having some dates and dalliances along the way).
I loved Symona’s voice throughout and I’m going to miss hanging out with her. I especially loved the dynamic between her and her Grandma. There is a particular scene which will really stay with me. So moving.
I hate the word ‘chicklit’ because it doesn’t do these stories justice but this is a great and super original ‘chicklit’ read featuring an awesome cast of black women. I’m so pleased Symona’s Still Single was picked up by Jacaranda Books’ #Twentyin2020 initiative. You should read this book!
