This is definitely my new favorite book. I never cried over a book so much. This deserves all of the five stars and then some. This is beautifully written and I would do anything to read it for the first time again. Madeline Miller did an amazing job on this retelling and I would recommend it to anyone. The relationship between Achilles and Patroclus was amazing which lead to their demises in the end. Again I cried so much even though I knew what happened…. I can’t say this enough how much I love this book and I love how it written. 10/10 would recommended.😭✨
