Book Discussion: You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty by Akwaeke Emezi

Join Read Receipts for our March book discussion as we dive into You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty by Akwaeke Emezi.

You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty by Akwaeke Emezi
Feyi Adekola wants to learn how to be alive again. Feyi isn’t ready for anything serious, but a steamy encounter at a rooftop party cascades into a whirlwind summer she could have never imagined: a luxury trip to a tropical island, decadent meals in the glamorous home of a celebrity chef, and a major curator who wants to launch her art career. She’s even started dating the perfect guy, but their new relationship might be sabotaged before it has a chance by the overwhelming desire Feyi feels every time she locks eyes with the one person in the house who is most definitely off-limits—his father.

During this meeting, we’ll:

• Discuss major themes and character decisions
• Share moments that surprised, frustrated, or stayed with us
• Explore how the story connects to real-life choices and values
• Hold space for multiple perspectives and interpretations
