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

5.0

Look I know the is branded as “messy” and yes I agree. But if we are looking past that, Emezi has written a beautiful story about loss and how we deal/express grief with ourselves and others. Emezi communicates that It’s easy to think of what you are seeing directly and not agree, but if you are in the position to grab something that makes you happy, makes you feel alive, take that chance. We don’t get many and the ones we get may not last forever.

Such a a beautiful story, I recommend. Also Milan and Joy are the only sensible characters in this book. If you came for sanity, oh well lol
