Only Big Bumbum Matters Tomorrow

Last week, I finished Damilare Kuku's 'Only Big Bumbum Matters Tomorrow'. It was worth the read, so I'll share my thoughts.

Everybody had their own story to tell, which made the plot interesting. Temi's story was just so relatable for any young, average, female person, especially the ones here in naija.

I'm not an advocate for BBL, but I pitied Temi enough to understand her. She passed through a lot, because according to society, her bumbum was as flat as a blackboard. So how could I blame her when she decided to 'renovate' it?

Next, I think Ladun, Temi's elder sister overreacted a bit. Their mother did what she had to do without any intention to hurt Ladun. How could the poor woman have known that "It's a small world" would happen to her?

I'll say Mr. Tito, Temi and Ladun's Dad was my favourite character. He just had so much good character and loved his wife so much. I remember this scene where he had an issue with a colleague for disrespecting his wife. Although I think he favoured the children more sometimes.

For Hassana, Ladun and Temi's mum, she didn't have a lot of options. She just did what she thought was best for her and her child. So I expected that Ladun should have tried to understand her at least.

Then there was Aunty Jummai, Hassana's elder sister and Big mummy, Tito's elder sister.

Aunty Jummai liked both men and women. While Big mummy, I could not even understand the colour of her own problem.

The funniest scene for me was the one where Jummai hit her husband back, and when a wrestling match ensued, she won.

The summary of the whole story is that only big bumbum matters tomorrow. At least that's what society and social media has made us think.

I recommend this story if you're looking for one to keep your eyes glued on it till the very end.

If you've read it already, please share your thoughts with me in the comments.
