This is my first Katee Robert book and will not be my last!

This modern take to retell the story of Pysche and Eros was so different than other versions that I was on board from chapter one.

Eros is such a grumpy emo who is so stuck in this idea that he is undeserving of love, thanks to his childhood that it takes him a while to realize that regardless of what he's done, he can grow and be a better man.
Psyche is so different. Her characterization is definitely more modern and I love that she is described as a curvy, vivacious woman who has her own hangups thanks to society's views on beauty that have made her doubt herself and in turns Eros.

This has a little bit of different things I love; enemies to lovers,  marriage of convenience, and the unlikely hero not to mention it had fun dialogue, likeable characters and this can be read as a stand-alone even though it's no.2 of the series.

Going to go find the first book now 😍😍
