Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff
4.0

Finding meaning and solace in life is hard, I don't know why no one is talking about it!

Such a silly and irritating (in a good way!) first half with a truly relatable heartbreaking second half of reveals. Loved the structure, I usually find non-linear to be a bit of a hurdle for me (am dum) but this only served to keep me engaged. It felt as though I was in the characters and I felt what they felt. Good stuff, man...

It's so difficult to feel acceptance and forgiveness for oneself, and it compounds and compounds as you try to find worth outside of the self, to give one's worth to others, and the self and others only end up with less through that process...

This is one of those stories that will stick with me for a long time
