Reading this book felt like those late night discussion you have with friends, where they share secrets and life stories.
It made Circe's life, her struggle, fear, pain, joy, loss and sorrow even more real. Finishing this book felt like saying goodbye to a friend.
It is a beautiful story about self-discovery, about overcoming the need for external validation, about becoming our true self and about how it is to be a woman.
Madeline Miller's writing style is mesmerizing (funny for a book about a witch) and it was an absolute blast to read!
