You Made a Fool of Death With Your Beauty

by Akwaeke Emezi 
 
Matisee says “This book makes a powerful bonfire out of tropes, defying the romance genre all whilst celebrating it, it offers a gorgeous sensory experience, immersing you into Feyi’s intimate inner life whilst she navigates a wild ride. It is the boldest and most luminous piece I have ever read on the embodied experience of grief, the taste of pleasure and the dangerous cost of choosing to be truly alive…”
 
It's the opportunity of a lifetime: Feyi is about to be given the chance to escape the City's blistering heat for a dream island holiday: poolside cocktails, beach sunsets, and elaborate meals. And as the sun goes down on her old life our heroine also might just be ready to open her heart to someone new. The only problem is, she's falling for the one man she absolutely can't have.
