I would have loved to have learnt more about Joy and Feyi’s crush on her, but this is only ever mentioned in passing. Their friendship was actually my favourite part of this book and I found myself a lot more invested in their journey together than I ever did with any of Feyi’s romantic relationships. Similarly, her best friend, Joy, endlessly finds herself entangled in affairs with married women, yet they support one another no matter what. Ezemi has a gift for writing so beautifully about all of the messy emotions that come with losing a loved one, yet also the hope that comes from finding yourself again in the aftermath.įeyi is a messy character who blames a lot of her mistakes on the heartbreak and trauma she’s suffered. Whilst the two books couldn’t be more polar opposite in many ways, both deal with characters coming to terms with grief in the wake of tragedy. I wouldn’t describe myself as a big romance reader, but as a fan of The Death of Vivek Oji (also by Awaeke Ezemi), I was keen to give their first foray into the genre a go. This is hot girl summer like never before. She never intended for anything serious to happen, but her love life quickly takes a turn in ways she could never have imagined. Five years after the death of her husband in a tragic accident, Feyi, with some encouragement from her best friend, Joy, decides it’s time to re-enter the dating scene.
