A review by expelliearmus
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

5.0

Edit: another read… still one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking experiences a book offers. I love this book more than anything.

I am not kidding when I say I finished this book an hour ago and have not stopped crying.

The whole time, I was like “ok, you know what’s coming… you can handle it”… well, I, in fact, could NOT handle it.

This may be the most heartbreaking and beautiful story I have ever and will ever read. If you want to be absolutely destroyed while also being thankful for every single second of misery, pick up this book. Will I read it again? I don’t know… I truly don’t know if my little heart can handle it. But I will probably think of this story every day for the rest of my life.
