I am Team Feyi all day long!!!! YMAFODWYB was my first experience with Emezi’s writing and has instantly turned me into a fan. This is a story about loss, grief, and all of the messy ways that we move through it. We walk with our main character Feyi who is going through the motions of moving on after tragically losing her fiancé. Interests and friendships become messy when a trip to woo Feyi lands her in the arms of her friends father. I was completely invested in Feyi’s healing journey from beginning to end. Truly a must-read story from Emezi.
