A review by leylalovesbooks
You Made a Fool of Death With Your Beauty by Akwaeke Emezi

3.0

My main issue was with the romance. Personally, the romance seemed more about attraction and I just couldn't connect to it. I mean come on! The father of your sweet boyfriend? In his house? During vacation? Since romance is the core of the novel, it didn't quite work for me. Also, the ending felt extremely rushed. Many questions were left unanswered, the book wrapped up without resolving any of them or giving any closure to the characters or the readers.

On a positive note, I expected a light, fun, tropical romance but this was an intense and moving story of love and grief. Emezi’s writing is both intense and beautiful.
