Paulo Coelho can be a hit or miss with me, I struggled with some of his books and find them completely absurd but some I enjoy immensely and find them super profound.
This one, really really enjoyed and probably takes the spot of my favorite one from his catalogue above Brida, which was a loooong standing favorite for most of my life. I love Athena and her conviction and zest for life and how all the characters are so entranced by her, loved the mystery of her boyfriend and the ending.
I enjoyed it immensely and while yes it totally is pop spirituality, as many of his books, this one felt a little lighter and fun but still a strong message of self discovery without being overly preachy or out there!
