About the Book
Feyi Adekola wants to learn how to be alive again. It’s been five years since the accident that took the love of her life, and now she’s ready to rediscover joy. With her art career blooming and her best friend encouraging her to open her heart, Feyi finds herself swept into a whirlwind summer she could have never imagined—complete with rooftop parties, luxury island getaways, and the intoxicating pull of a new connection that may just be too complicated to pursue.
In this fresh and seductive exploration of love, loss, and healing, Emezi crafts a vivid story about what it means to choose life and passion again after heartbreak. You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty invites readers to embrace vulnerability, honor grief, and take brave steps toward joy.

Come unwind with a cocktail (or two), meet fellow book lovers, and share in a lively discussion about love, second chances, and the courage to begin again.
Literature with a Twist—cheers to that!
