Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff

4.0

Oh man I honestly almost gave up on this book. I put it down for a couple of months after reading halfway through but I'm glad I picked it up again. I really wasn't feeling the first half because I found Lotto to be completely insufferable and I didn't think I could stand to read about him for a whole 390 pages. But in the second half we learned the rest of the story from Mathilde's point of view and that was when the story of their marriage fascinated me until the very end. I was all set to put this book down and declare that I hated it but it ended up being a journey for me. This was a really interesting take on what it means to love and to be loved.
