Moroti Wants A Virgo

Moroti Alao-Coker is living her best life in Roanoke, Virginia. At thirty-five, she owns her own home, is an otolaryngologist at a reputable hospital in America, and has the best friend any woman can ask for. With her goddess level beauty stats, on paper, things couldn’t be better except they aren’t.

Accomplished but lonely, Moroti hatches a plan with the help of her best friend Priya and her matchmaker, Jaya Auntie, to discover the one thing that has eluded her; the one thing that will put her out of reach of gossiping relatives, lecherous men, a scheming stepmother, and the ex that broke her heart. Moroti, it turns out, needs to find love with the kind of man astrologically aligned to her soul a Virgo, to be exact. 

But things rarely go according to plan. From disastrous dates and ghostings to run-ins with a past she’s tried to bury, Moroti finds herself tangled in memories, family drama, and surprising connections. 

A romcom written in the stars, Moroti Wants a Virgo is a sterling, witty, steamy, deeply romantic rollercoaster of a novel from the peerless Adesuwa O’man Nwokedi. It will have you laughing, cringing, longing, cursing, cheering, and ultimately, delighted by one woman’s journey to finding true fulfilment in life and love.
