5.0

This is my most read, most beloved book. I have read it across many stages of life and always take something new with me from it. If you love Greek mythology retellings and star-crossed lovers this is the book for you. Miller perfectly captures the feelings of sweeping, tragic romance and keeps you on the edge of your seat with the action. Her conclusion to this famous love story is truly perfect to me, and always manages to make me shed tears no matter how many times I have devoured it.
