Five stars is not enough.
Also it’s 5🌶️.
This is a new favorite book, and I don’t care what that says about me.
Reads a lot like an Ali Hazelwood novel but MORE SPICY? I’m obsessed.

I will accept NO criticism of this book. Or this author.
The only thing that could have improved this book is if it was 3-4 times longer.
I need more.

I think I was too young for a lot of the humor in this book but I still really enjoyed it! It was funny, sweet, and easy to read. I actually didn’t see the plot twist (the “whodunnit”) coming at all!

Maybe it’s because I read Costanza Casati’s “Clytemnestra” last year but this just didn’t measure up.
Mediocre in every way.
The writing didn’t pull me in. The characters were flat & I just couldn’t care about them.
The story still had the dark and rough parts (cause mythology) but the writing & characters did not make it worth it.
Still, I’m glad I read it. I love Greek mythology & this had been on my TBR for years…
