After reading Emezi’s The Death of Vivek Oji I knew I needed to consume their other titles. There’s a depth to their writing in terms of pain I have yet to experience elsewhere. Both books explore themes of grief and loss on another level. I guess I need to feel the deepest feelings and finding books that evoke those feelings is my new goal.
Feyi Adekola just wants to find herself and feel alive again. It’s been a few years since her husband was killed in a car crash and Feyi is struggling with the grief and loneliness but she’s almost a new person. When a steamy encounter sends her life into a whirlwind she has to decide if she can move forward and release her past. But can anyone after losing someone close to them?
This book is messy, gritty and holds nothing back. It made me spiral into my own depths of grief and loss. No wonder it sent me into a book slump. This is how I like my romance books though. Complicated, difficult and complex. Recommend this if you’re looking for a deep feeler with hard themes to stomach, 4.5✨. Another hit recommended by @britreadsbooks and @cozyinthenook!
