It’s not a gross exaggeration to say I loved every bit of this book! From learning about Isabella as a young girl to her debut to society to the adventure to Vystrana, every page was delightful and at times even funny. I was definitely expecting to come in to a book about a fake/real person. […]
Such a thought-provoking book on gender and identity, an epic look into a world that doesn’t have gender. The world-building is probably the biggest focus for people but everything else works in the background and slowly sneaks up on you. Not realizing how emotionally I was invested in all of this til near the end. […]

I honestly don’t remember why I first rated this 4 stars when it’s definitely a 5 star read! Maybe having read the first one and then re-reading this just had everything make more sense. As with the first one, I found everything adorable about Aphrodite and Hephaestus! I’m blown away by how R.M. Virtues creates […]

Virtues. I immediately read it and fell in love with Virtues’s writing, characters, everything! I’m now kicking myself for […]
If you’ve eve wondered what it’d be like to walk into your favorite book, then you’ll want to read this one! I haven’t laughed as much while reading a book in ages. It did take me a moment to get into the novel cause it is different than other books I’ve read. I love how […]

High school Darcy would’ve quite literally killed for a book like this when they were a teenager. To know they weren’t alone, that others in the world felt like they did, and that they weren’t abnormal or wrong would’ve been everything. Both girls come to the relationship with their own issues and traumas that are […]
Part one of the book is really the best of the novel and saved it from being a 2 star read. Part two feels too one-sided and resolved the tension in an unsatisfactory way. I loved everything about part one! The tension and pining between Aphrodite and Evander was everything my heart wanted. Plus, Aphrodite’s […]
