Probably still crying.
I know I am late to this one, but I absolutely loved it! And I have cried so much. Romances are not often appreciated by me, but stories like these are not mere romances, they are love stories. This one went deep. As it is also a retelling of a classic Greek myth, something I was obsessed about in my teen years, it felt very nostalgic. The only reason I didn't give it a full five stars is that some parts were a bit too slow to my taste.
