I absolutely loved this book - it was so well written, well informed, engaging, and above all really made me feel seen and understood
It’s perfect for anyone who is either a women/was raised as a women, who had a Greek mythology phase, or, like me, ticks both those boxes
Highly highly recommend, but definitely check trigger warnings before diving into it!
