Podcaster and journalist Sam Sanders returns to discuss You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty by Akwaeke Emezi for The Stacks Book Club. In our conversation of this romance novel, we wonder if the book actually qualifies as such under the rules of romance novels. We also discuss how the story feels like real life because it mirrors the messiness of actual love stories, who we are rooting for, and we brainstorm casts for the upcoming screen adaptation.

There are spoilers on today's episode.

Be sure to listen to the end of today’s episode to find out what our book club pick will be for September 2023.

You can find everything we discuss on today's show on The Stacks' website:
