Yet another masterpiece by Emezi, this beautiful, ~spicy~ 👀, incredibly impactful story is about love and its many forms. It is an exploration of grief, of friendship, and of art and its power to heal; it is an ode to all those who know or need to hear that it is okay to honor yourself, your needs and your wants.

Akwaeke Emezi writes so beautifully. I love how their work spans so many genres. I’m not normally a romance novel kind of person, but I really enjoyed this. It’s a book about grief and love, and there are important sub themes around how people approach friendships too.

 I want to spend more time with Joy (spin off novel, please!)

characters - ⭐️
plot - ⭐️
engaging to read - ⭐️
would recommend - 
would read again - 

the narrator for the audiobook was amazing and i really enjoyed listening :)

otherwise, this is a tough one to review… it was a bit silly of me to choose to read a straight romance because it did nothing for me except occasionally make me cringe. that being said, i did enjoy the characters and the setting of the story. i’ve definitely never read anything like it.

Such a well written story with plots and turns, with hints of romance and spice but also touching on emotions
