You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty by Akwaeke Emezi

2.0

I was really rooting for this book because of how beautiful the title and the cover are, but the romance in this book is NOT IT. The main character is messy af and grief is not an excuse to act that way. She meets a guy, sleeps with him first five minutes, they keep hooking up, she meets his friends, starts dating his friend instead. The friend starts to fall in love with her, puts her on to a job opportunity, takes her to his beautiful family home on a private island, introduces her to his dad. SHE FALLS IN LOVE WITH HIS DAD.
I’m sick.
Not a cute plot twist or an understandable one.
Sadly I can not defend this book.
