so i didn't wanna give into the hype surrounding this book. i didn't wanna read it and hate it so i put it off for so long. but when i finally read it i feel in love. the writing is beautiful miss maddie really has a way with words. the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus was mwah beautiful chef's kisses obviously with its flaws. I cried at the ending like a baby i can't lie. i may end up rating this 5 stars in the future if i keep thinking about this book but for now it's 4.75. there were just a few aspects i felt were longed out.
I can see why some wouldn't enjoy this or think it's soul-shattering and that's okay. I get it and feel like I'll never be complete again
