'Kuku's stories are delectable and fun' GUARDIAN

'Queen of the banging book title . . . I loved it' NIKKI MAY

'Sharply observational, funny and profound' BOLU BABALOLA

From the bestselling author of Nearly All the Men in Lagos are Mad comes a powerful polyphonic novel about family secrets, judgemental aunties and Brazilian butt lifts.

Freshly out of university, 20-year-old Témì has a clear plan for her future: she is going to surgically enlarge her backside, move to Lagos and meet a man who will love her senseless. When she finally finds the courage to tell her family, at the funeral of her beloved father, her announcement causes uproar – because in Nigerian families, none of your business is private. Not even if it’s about your bumbum. But as they try to cure Témì of what they consider to be insanity, the long-buried secrets that bind and separate them are spilled in the process. In the end, it seems like Témì might be the sanest one of them all . . .

Damilare Kuku uses her signature humour to reveal the ways a woman’s physical appearance can dictate her life and shows just how sharp the double-edged sword of beauty can be.

Finally an author that looked for a narrator that knows how to pronounce Nigerian slangs and expressions. A pleasant listen and a funny story.

Great narration.

I was not expecting such a fantastic story. Some stories were predictable but enjoyable nonetheless! I think a lesson was learned after the narration I suffered through for kuku’s “nearly all the men in Lagos” because the performance this time around was authentic! Really enjoyed it

The story, the narration, the characters!!
