Even after reading many reviews last year, I wasn't prepared for how messy this story about a widow learning to trust love is. I loved Emezi's writing; their vivid descriptions of scenery and food made me crave a summer vacation when I read this during the gloomy winter. Their emphasis on grieving the loss of a partner is another topic I deeply resonated with. Admittedly, FOOL is my least favorite Emezi because mixing heavy emotional themes and spicy scenes takes me out of the buildup. Nonetheless, fans who love HOW TO END A LOVE STORY (Hulin Kuang) will also appreciate FOOL!
