'I absolutely loved this... I don't think I've ever related to a story more... I laughed and cried... A really great read!'

Sade Sodipo is ready to meet 'the one' and finally fulfil the Nigerian Dream. So far God hasn't performed that little miracle quite yet, but it'll happen this year for sure. Especially if her mother, two best friends, younger sister and all those in the unofficial Marriage Monitoring Aunties Association, have anything to say about it.

She might love her job, have great friends and even own her own home, but according to the meddling aunties, this is why she's still single at 50.

What if her prayers for the perfect man have got lost? Or maybe Sade's happy-ever-after is right on time...

A must read romance novel for anyone looking for inspirational, kisses-only romance which looks at themes of faith, culture, and love. Readers are loving The Marriage Monitoring Aunties' Association:
