You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty: A Novel

"I never thought I’d describe a book as flavorful – but You Made A Fool of Death with Your Beauty turns cuisine into a kind of artful foreplay. Akwaeke Emezi’s protagonist, Feyi, a studio artist, never thought she’d fall for Alim, the handsome father of her friend-with-benefits. Her heart is still broken years after the death of her love. But Emezi creates tantalizing chemistry between Feyi and Alim, whose forbidden romance is scandal-worthy, and shows us that beauty and love come in many forms."
