5.0

I think this is my favorite romance book of 2022! I have really gravitated towards books about grief this year and this book is no exception. Feyi is trying to figure out what her life looks like after the death of her husband. The love and understanding that she finds in her love interest is beautiful. I can’t wait to read more books from Akwaeke Emezi! 

Also, my absolute FAVORITE quote from the book (possibly my favorite quote from any book I read this year) was
“I feel like the world wanted to remind me that it loves me, and so it gave me him.”
