You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty
by Akwaeke Emezi
YOU MADE A FOOL OF DEATH WITH YOUR BEAUTY by AKWAEKE EMEZI (aka my favourite)
Late December, I received an empty envelope from @faberbooks that was supposed to contain this book. However, someone had clearly stolen the contents of the envelope. When I told Faber about it, they were extremely understanding and sent me another one the next day, but by the time it arrived, I was in Spain, so my mum posted it to me, but it got held up at customs for three weeks, and when it finally arrived I had to pay an €8 tax charge. Phew. Anyway, the reason I’m telling you this is because I want you to know the lengths I (and my family) go to to get Emezi in my hands! I would do it all over 5000 times for this book!
When Emezi said they were writing a romance novel, I nearly melted into a puddle. What could be better than the greatest writer of all time dipping their toe into smutty romance?! Nothing. Absolutely nothing! Then again, I’d probably lick the paper in Emezi’s waste paper bin, so they could really do anything and I’d gag.
All I’ll say about the plot is: you think you know, but you have no idea. Just wait for your heart to turn to liquid between Emezi’s fingers. Just wait.
Preorder now. Actually, now is too late preorder it yesterday.
I’m on such a high after reading this. Can you tell?!
