this was the weirdest retelling i've read so far.... so many reviews call it a comedy, but it didn't really vibe with my sense of humor. i enjoyed it for sure, but it's weird. i wish it expanded less on the lives of the human characters and more on the problems of the gods. also ... apollo is a hot mess but it wasn't allll his fault ... r.i.p apollo lol

Most of the book is their simple lives. The biggest conflict isn't introduced until waaay later, after the middle of the book. Super entertaining and loveable characters though!!!

This was probably one of the most interesting Greek mythology retellings I have ever read--and I've read a lot of them. In a way, it was also one of the more accurate retellings in terms of how the gods were portrayed. Despite living in the 21st century with all of its progressiveness and change, the gods are still as vulgar, spiteful, and uncaring as ever. It makes for an engaging, delightful read. The dynamic between two "Average Joe" mortals and these Olympians long past their prime is something you'll wish you had more of. Gods Behaving Badly takes you on a journey that you weren't quite prepared for, but you'll be happy you took when all is said and done. Also, I love Artemis. She deserves the world.
