Beautiful romance I found it hopeful ! Highly recc reading the Will to change by bell hooks before reading this book to understand the mentality of masculine pride.

I think this is the saddest love story i've ever read. Heartbreaking, breathtaking, and beautifully written (also painful bc of how much sadness it has).

Should definitely keep in mind when reading this, that it is based on greek mythology, witch if you know about greek mythology you already kind of know what you're in for.
