5.0

I fell in love with this book the moment I opened it in a bookstore and read the line "Like everyone called a woman, they say I had no childhood. They say I rose from the sea fully formed, forced to bear the weight of other people's desire. It's not the truth, but it's close enough." 
This book has dark moments, light moments, and is filled with relatable experiences in gut-wrenching poetic detail. It helped me love myself a little more and felt as if I was truly watching Aphrodite interact with Mateer.
If you want a good cry this is the book for you.
