The Girlfriend's Guide to Gods was an actual golden short read. The parallelization of the greek mythology with the relationship adventures of a young woman until she realizes that she is the only one who can make herself happy and complete, a goddess, was excellent and inspiring. The way this story was written was also beautiful. And, even though this one was a short story, the author managed to arranged the pace and to complete the story masterfully.

This short story resonated deeply with me and my own life journey, and that's all I can say about it really.

This is the fifth myth, the one they name after you, and you alone, the one that gets written down in blood and scratched into cave walls, the one that women see when they look up at the sky and consider trying to live through this and make it to their futures.
This was really good.
