SUCH A GOOD BOOK
Its so funny and I love the concept that Marie Phillips decided to base the book on. The gods are just as you expect them to be in the modern world and there are little surprises. Mainly follows Apollo and Artemis as the main gods which I love bc they've been my favourite since I first discovered my love for Greek mythology- yes Apollo is still as awful as he is when it comes to relationships in the traditional myths (Aphrodite doesn't play a major role to the plot but I love her and she's very present. Probably the third main god paid attention to which is nice for a change)
The ending is very short but I was more interested in the gods just doing human stuff so I wasn't so bothered about that
Would definitely read again and I'm so glad I found it
