5.0

This book is a heart wrenching story that left me lying on the ground listen to the same song on repeat for 3 days. I would say to read this book at your own risk but that would be an understatement, every being in all of the universes must read this book or our entire being will cease to exist. Madeline Miller brought me joy, confusion, wonder, an overwhelming feeling of bliss and then the joyful sorrow of what was Achilles and Patroclus's love story hit me with the impact of a thousand waves as my heart was ripped from my body. This book brought me everything I yearned for and now I am left with astronomically elevated expectations.
