While this book is a fast paced story with romance and love after loss as it's main theme, I found the protagonist absolutely infuriating. There were times when I just kept thinking "No Feyi". I'm not sure I would recommend this as the storyline wasn't for me but I do think I would read Emezi's other novels as she has wrote multiple different genres.

I was so please with how the author wrapped up this book. For awhile I had no idea where the book was going to go…racy sex scenes?! Kidnapping?? Murder?? But I loved the ending. The realization that to be alive and to be able to love is enough was such a lovely ending.
