5.0

This book contains stunning, thoughtful, and inspiring line-level writing that tackles feminism and the female condition in a way that is both nuanced and devastating. This is an easy 5/5 read for me. I thoroughly enjoyed not only the narrative, but the writing craft, particularly the symbolism and parallels that come full circle.
To end, I like to imagine that Circe got the life she dreamt of.
