 A story about Medusa — a young woman. Not just the vilified monstress from the myth for heroes to defeat. She is a survivor, and this is her reclaiming her story. Albeit short, the book tackles issues (trigger warning) ranging from sexual assault, rape, consent, objectification, and toxic masculinity. Not too fond of the writing, but there were some notable quotes. I recommend this for a younger audience to read.
