Summary

Symona Brown is a 37-year old Jamaican British woman living in South London looking for her Mr Right whilst her biological clock loudly ticks on. She announces to her close girlfriends after a boozy Sunday brunch that she is ready to up her game and start actively dating, to their surprise and delight. After being consciously single for a number of years, Symona remembers what worked and what definitely did not in the dating arena. This time, she knows who she is and what she wants.

As Symona reflects through her memories from one Mr to another, she reveals her sensual, hilarious and downright frustrating encounters. She finds herself asking, “What does it mean to be a Black woman trying to exist, date and find love?” In her pursuit of love, she learns new lessons and different answers. Will these new revelations get her what she wants?

Would recommend

I came across this book by accident and finished it in three days. There were times when the narrator took me out of the story if I'm honest, but I did really enjoy the book overall. It isn't perfect, but it's a great read and I would recommend it. I'm looking forward to more from this author!

Relatable

As a black female in the UK I think we need more books like this. so many elements felt like my life and I could relax and immerse myself into the story.

Nice

Nice, fun read. Some effortlessly humorous bits. Loved that it's set in many different places with diverse characters. Could easily empathise with and like the main protagonist.
