I stumbled upon this book on facebook. Ordered it (I try to support my Nigerian authors), read it in one seating and I loved it. It is light hearted and funny. Just what I needed after reading Dispatches from the edge.
I got a copy from Amazon - Amazon.com: The Mrs Club: Ekene Onu: Books

================================================== ================
The Mrs. Club:
Getting in is one thing, and staying in is another....
** Smart Sexy & Successful, these three Naija girls have everything going for them. So why dont they feel
complete? What do they think is missing?
-----
A book that married women and single women can definitely relate to.

My plan tonight was the same as it had been for the past year…to find a husband.
Yes, I said it; I believe in being open, after all you never know who has a single investment banker friend looking to settle down. What’s more, I am not afraid to admit that these days I have to work a little harder and be more strategic because…well, I am on the wrong side of 30.
You see in the African community, age is definitely not on a woman’s side. When you are about 22, you are put in the front window and are marked for sale. Then when you are about 26, they mark you 50% off, 75% off when you are 28 and then when you are 30, the sign is changed to say: “ALL GOODS MUST GO!”

Then Jeffrey walked into my life. It was a made for a movie moment. The people around us began to blur and the room started to get dark and all I could see was him. By the time I realized that he had asked me to dance, I was in his arms and they felt so good.
They felt strong, not like a body builder’s arms, but like a real man’s should feel. They were playing Mary J. Blige’s song, “Be Without You” and we were slow dancing. I found myself feeling all sorts of crazy things for this man and all I knew was his first name.
Mina
People usually ask me how I got so lucky and I tell them luck has nothing to do with it. My life is good because I made the right choices. So many women out there make unintelligent decisions for stupid reasons. As for me, I wanted this life and so I knew what I had to do.
