This is such a fun book. I hadn’t read it in years and it was nice to revisit it!

A fun popcorn read. I'm doing a mythology retelling read-a-thon, and this fit well into the category. Not heavy like Circe or Ariadne, which was a nice break.

I did actually laugh out loud several times with this book. I often don't find books as funny as the covers promise me I will. This one lived up to it, though the humor is acerbic and at times dark. The first quarter of the book I wasn't sure where our plot was going, but it moves along quickly. Short chapters zip along. Ultimately it has a happy ending, which is a must for me. Cute & funny, an easy read.

DID NOT FINISH: 5%

There were no likable characters so I’ve decided to pass on this one.

I think this (audio)book suffered from having a voice that made me not want to pay attention. Which I didn't. Snooooooze.

It was fun.

I was at first put off this book by the less than attractive representation of the gods. Once I realized that the book wasn’t at all about the gods and more about the love story of the mortals I fell in love with it. It’s fluff but it’s an extremely sweet story that I enjoyed more the more I read.
