You Made a Fool of Death With Your Beauty

I read this book on a blind rec from a friend, and it turned out to be a delightful romance book.

It's about learning to find joy again after the grief of loss. It's about Feyi learning to believe her art (and herself) is good enough. It's about the different ways people can love each other and be friends with each other.

Also, it's a hashtag bi4bi age gap romance where Feyi falls for the sexy bisexual Michelin chef father of the guy friend she's not quite dating. Needless to say, it's messy, but it feels believably and justifiably so.

Review of 'You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

Every time I read one of these non-fantasy, non-sci-fi books I feel slightly surprised that they too are quite enjoyable. And, as this is an adult book, I guess, it has nice sex scenes in it too.
This book felt like complete wish fulfillment fantasy. The protagonist is a gorgeous woman who can stand for herself, every man she gets involved with basically adores her, ultimately she meets a rich, gorgeous, famous guy, who not only adores her, but loves her. Oh, and obvsly is emotionally mature.
So that it's not all fluff the people in the story deal with some past traumas, have some messy circumstances to the falling in love parts. Still, the book feels very light and hot.
