Synopsis

A “wise, funny, irresistible” (Shelf Awareness) debut novel about family secrets, judgmental aunties, and Brazilian butt lifts, from the author of the internationally bestselling story collection Nearly All the Men in Lagos Are Mad. In Nigerian families, none of your business is private. Not even if it's about your bumbum.Freshly out of Obafemi Awolowo University, 20-year-old Temi has a clear plan for her future: she is going to surgically enlarge her backside like all the other Nigerian women, move from Ile-Ife to Lagos, and meet a man who will love her senseless.But when she finally finds the courage to tell her mother, older sister, and aunties, her announcement causes an uproar. As each of the other women try to cure Temi of what seems like temporary insanity, they begin to spill long-buried secrets, including the truth of Temi’s older sister’s mysterious disappearance five years earlier.In the end, it seems like Temi might be the sanest of them all…In Only Big Bumbum Matters Tomorrow, Damilare Kuku brings her signature humor, boldness, and compassion to each member of this loveable but exasperating family, whose lives reveal the ways in which a woman’s physical appearance can dictate her life and relationships and show just how sharp the double-edged sword of beauty can be.

Goodreads review by BookOfCinz on August 25, 2024

The title and cover is a bit misleading, at the core, the message is about self-acceptance and beauty standards Temi is 20 years old and is about to finish university, she’s got one goal to get a big bumbum. Temi grew up in a house where her Mom, Sister and Aunty had a big bumbum so she figured she......more

Goodreads review by Darkowaa on March 24, 2024

More like 2.5 stars. This book starts off really engaging, but I didn't care about the numerous storylines and POVs after the 1st 50 pages. Too many different storylines run concurrently with some chapters written in first person, while the main character’s chapters were written in the third person.......more

Goodreads review by Andre on March 30, 2024

First let me thank Harper Via and Netgalley for an advanced DRC. It was a joy to read this very humorous novel of a young lady who wants to enhance her backside. Ms.Damilare Kuku has a flair for comedic writing, as she showed in her short story collection NEARLY ALL THE MEN…….. So, the title of this......more

Goodreads review by LUNA on July 06, 2024

This reads almost like her previous book “Nearly all the men in Lagos are mad” which is a collection of short stories. This was supposed to be just one story but the constant change of POVs to people that are not even significant to the story made the book feel like you’re stuck in a terrible traffi......more
