I loved this book of love! It was so refreshing to hear myths and stories from places I don't normally encounter, and even more refreshing that the author decided to switch up some of the misogynistic storylines while still staying true to the original elements of the stories. Though some stories take you through an emotional rollercoaster, it was a treat that all of them ended optimistically. Sometimes you just need to read a book like that.
