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 who is most definitely off-limits--his father. 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?

Isso foi muito lindo

Olha, não vou mentir que quando comecei a ler, demorou um pouquinho pra me interessar. Fiquei meio naquele limbo de "não tô perdendo muita coisa se não ler hoje". Aí lá pro meio (um pouco antes vai) a história tava meio estranha... o "foreshadowing" (não lembro o termo em português) tava entregando muita coisa estranha... eu tava receosa dessa história hein?!
Aí veio o clarão e jesusmariajosé...
ENTREGOU DEMAIS.
Que prosa! Que belas palavras. Por volta da página 191 em diante eram frases tão lindas que merecem ser emolduradas, espalhadas numa exposição de arte tal qual a da personagem.

Simplesmente apoteótico.
