I adored this book! The personification of the Greek Gods was hilarious & witty, with a cute love story between mortals to drive the plot.
In the world of fanfiction, there's a common tag "canon-typical". For example, if it's fanfiction about superheroes, it could be tagged "canon-typical-violence" to indicate there is violence, but no more than you'd get in the source material.
This book has jokes/dialogue that references extremely problematic behavior, up to and including referencing SA, but only as far as is "canon-typical" for the Greek Gods. To write a story about the Greek Gods in a modern setting either means complete erasure of just how crappy they always behaved in the classic stories, or attitudes that certainly don't meet modern morals.
So warning of blase references to the horrible way the Greek Gods "canonically" behave. "Canon-typical-shitty-behaviour".
If you're okay with that - it's a wonderfully enjoyable read!
Especially for a Greek God girly who probably read Percy Jackson a billion times as a teenager :)
