So excited to discuss our August book club pick: You Made A Fool of Death With Your Beauty by Akwaeke Emezi). This lush romantic drama sparked a lot of conversation in our Facebook Group, and we share our differing feelings about the book as well! We also discuss why we think this book was so divisive, our thoughts on the characters' chemistry, how the theme of grief is explored, and what we thought about the ending.
In this conversation we bring up author Akwaeke Emezi’s interview with Elle), and To Be Black and Loved’s You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty review)!
