Out in paperback on February 27!  

Rating: 4.5/5 stars

The story of Medusa and an exploration of what it means to be a “monster” to the world.

I absolutely loved STONE BLIND! I’ve always been fascinated by the story of Medusa and was so excited when this one was the February pick for my book club, and even MORE excited when I had the opportunity to join a book tour to celebrate the paperback release.

My favorite thing about this book is the writing, which is unexpectedly hilarious, and made me want to keep reading at all times. The story itself is tragic and heartbreaking, but Haynes tells it in such a captivating way and infuses a layer of hope that transforms the myth into something truly beautiful.

If you enjoy retellings, I cannot possibly recommend this one enough!
