The 10 best romance novels of 2022 - The Washington Post
Romance, more than any other genre, is one that readers come to when they need hope. The genre affirms the belief that anyone — no matter who they are — can find not only love but also a Happily Ever After. In the past couple of years that feeling, that promise, has felt more necessary than ever. For me, this year has been a reminder that the personal is always political, and I've found myself reaching for romances with protagonists who are not only looking for that glorious HEA but also healing, showing up for their communities, being courageous enough to fight for justice and striving to live authentically.
'You Made a Fool of Death With Your Beauty,' by Akwaeke Emezi
Feyi's connection to celebrity chef Alim is instant and undeniable. After five years grieving the loss of her husband, Feyi feels ready to live again. But things for our would-be lovers are far from simple. Alim is the father of the man Feyi is dating, and if their feelings ever come out, the fallout would be disastrous. Poignant and powerful, this taboo romance beautifully renders the isolating nature of grief and loss while also reminding us that sometimes, choosing love is the most radical thing we can do.
