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!)
