In You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty<\/i>, Feyi is slowly healing herself through her art and with some help from her best friend, Joy, who attempts to ease Feyi back into the dating scene. Though Feyi isn\u2019t ready to throw herself into anything serious, she finds comfort in dating the perfect guy who whisks her away to his family\u2019s house on a tropical island. To Feyi\u2019s surprise, she falls for the one person in the house who is most definitely off limits\u2014his father, Alim Blake, a Michelin star celebrity chef.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I loved the idea of a romance between two artists because much of who they are is communicated in their work, adding another layer to their relationship in the process. Feyi and Alim\u2019s relationship is complicated in every sense of the word, but what\u2019s most heartbreaking is that both deprive themselves of the joys that life offers to honor their grief. Their transition to the people they become at the end of the novel through the exploration of their feelings for each other is essential to the message of this book\u2014It is never too late to find happiness in others and if not, in yourself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Like any romance novel, You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty<\/i> has sexy romps, full-blown love affairs, and heated reactions to the sheer messiness of it all, but what I love most in this novel is<\/i> that inherent messiness, the roads that are harder to take but ultimately pay off in a tremendous outcome, the choices we make in pursuit of the all-encompassing love we hope for ourselves and for those we cherish. I hope you enjoy the novel as much as I did writing it. I can\u2019t wait for these characters to offer the hope we all need to take that leap into happiness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n –Akwaeke Emezi<\/p>\n P.S.
