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

adventurous emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

This is perfectly executed "messy main character blows up her own life," but in the most beautiful ways. It's a romance, but the writing style is so elegant, poignant, and introspective that it feels so much...deeper. Sexuality, identity, family, all in a tropical paradise.
