This was such a surprising 5-star read!

You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty completely caught me off guard. Considering it had elements I typically avoid spice (not my thing!) and an age gap between the love interests i’m shocked I ended up rating it so highly. But wow, the writing was exceptional, and the commentary on grief was absolutely stunning.

The story was heart-wrenching and, honestly, a bit of a train wreck in the best way. You couldn’t help but keep reading. Despite the chaos, the romance felt so compelling—like their souls found refuge in one another. You know it shouldn’t have worked, yet it did.

My two-word summary for this book? Soul refuge.
