Book Excerpt:
"Feyi Adekola wants to learn how to be alive again.
It's been five years since the accident that killed the love of her life, and she's almost a new person now—an artist with her own studio and sharing a brownstone apartment with her ride-or-die best friend, Joy, who insists it's time for Feyi to ease back into the dating scene. Feyi isn't ready for anything serious, but a steamy encounter at a rooftop party cascades into a whirlwind summer she could have never imagined: a luxury trip to a tropical island, decadent meals in the glamorous home of a celebrity chef, and a major curator who wants to launch her art career.She's even started dating the perfect guy. Still, their new relationship might be sabotaged before it has a chance by the overwhelming desire Feyi feels every time she locks eyes with the one person in the house who is most definitely off-limits—his father.
This new life she asked for getting a lot more complicated, and Feyi must begin searching for real answers. Who is she ready to become? Can she release her past and honor her grief while embracing her future? And, of course, there's the biggest question of all—how far is she willing to go for a second chance at love? Akwaeke Emezi's vivid and passionate writing takes us deep into a world of possibility, healing, and the constant bravery of choosing love against all odds."

"You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty" by Akwaeke Emezi
My Sentiments:
'You Made A Fool of Death With Your Beauty' was quite a read that featured Feyi, who had lost her husband in a car accident and, after five years, is trying to get back into the swing of things [dating] with the help of her best friend, Joy. But will this be a good thing for Feyi as she starts going out with Milan, and after that doesn't work out, she gets involved as friends with Nasir, who happens to be friends with Milan? Everything was going well as Feyi and Nasir were just friends, and he offered her a trip that dealt with her being an artist and staying at his father's place. Milan Blake was an art collector and famous Michelin star chef place, who lived out of the country...on an island.
Since these two Feyi and Nasir were just friends...he wanted more, but would that be as the story continues? So the story will end up being a 'love story within a love story,' Will Feyi find love after losing her husband? And who will it be with, Nasir or his ...?
You, the reader, must pick up this good read to see how this author brings out this romance. Be prepared for 'twists, turns, death, family, grief, shock, pain, healing, growth, courage, love, and drama' that will leave one shaking their head and saying, wow!
