You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty by Akwaeke Emezi
5.0
WOW! This book blew me away! I mean, I was shook and felt raw with emotion when I was done.
Is it perfect? No.
Do I recommend it with my whole heart? 100%!
And to my fellow romance readers: you MUST add this to your list!!
I think the best way I can describe this book is a romance with teeth.
What I loved most about it was Feyi’s personal journey. It was so unexpected from how it started off and I was pleasantly surprised. In each situation, her actions were thoughtful. It was inspiring to watch her navigate her feelings, stand up for herself, and embrace life—and all its messiness—again.
The writing in this book is so beautiful—full of vivid imagery that says so much by saying so little.
It’s a visceral, heartbreaking and life-affirming story from beginning to end that evokes a range of emotions from shock and awe to laughter and sadness to tenderness and heat.
