(Shondaland) reimagines the love story in this fresh and seductive novel about a young woman
seeking joy while healing from loss. Feyi Adekola wants to learn how to be alive again. It's
been five years since the accident that killed the love of her life and she's almost a new
person now-an artist with her own studio and sharing a brownstone apartment with her
ride-or-die best friend Joy who insists it's time for Feyi to ease back into the dating
scene. 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. She'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 in the house who is most definitely off-limits-his father. This
new life she asked for just got a lot more complicated and Feyi must begin her search for real
answers. Who is she ready to become? 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? Akwaeke Emezi's vivid and passionate writing takes
us deep into a world of possibility and healing and the constant bravery of choosing love
against all odds.
