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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShe'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 who is most definitely off-limits--his father. Can she release her past and honor her grief while still embracing her future? And, of course, there's the biggest question of all--how far is she willing to go for a second chance at love? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"With tenderhearted characters and an immaculate balance of realistic dialogue and lyrical prose\" (\u003ci\u003eBuzzFeed\u003c\/i\u003e), Akwake Emezi's vivid and passionate writing takes us deep into a world of possibility and healing. \u003ci\u003eYou Made a Fool of Death\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ewith Your Beauty\u003c\/i\u003e is a \"a love letter to the brave choices we make in the name of love, the costs we pay for it, and the glory of the reward at the end\" (\u003ci\u003eMarie Claire\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAkwaeke Emezi (they\/them) is the author of the \u003ci\u003eNew\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003eThe Death of Vivek Oji\u003c\/i\u003e, which was a finalist for the Dylan Thomas Prize, the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e Book Prize, and the PEN\/Jean Stein Award; \u003ci\u003ePet\u003c\/i\u003e, a finalist for the National Book Award for Young People's Literature, a Walter Honor Book, and a Stonewall Honor Book; \u003ci\u003eFreshwater\u003c\/i\u003e, which was named a \u003ci\u003eNew\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Notable Book and shortlisted for the PEN\/Hemingway Award, the New Public Library Young Lions Fiction Award, the Lambda Literary Award, and the Center for Fiction's First Novel Prize; \u003ci\u003eDear Senthuran: A Black Spirit Memoir, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich won the 2022 ALA Stonewall Prize for Best Nonfiction Book; and most recently, \u003ci\u003eContent Warning: Everything\u003c\/i\u003e, their debut poetry collection, and \u003ci\u003eBitter\u003c\/i\u003e, their second young adult novel\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e Selected as a 5 Under 35 honoree by the National Book Foundation and featured on a \u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e cover as a Next Generation Leader, they are based in liminal spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.1 x 5.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 13, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47374883061938,"sku":"9781982188719","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/b083afbd925c5252687129f1052feacd.webp?v=1777679777","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/you-made-a-fool-of-death-with-your-beauty-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
