A surprising highlight! The flood of Hades and Persephone retellings almost made me miss this new gem of a rom-com but now that I read it I am deeply in love! This is a slow almost enemies to friends to lovers story and especially Hades came with a new and very sweet personality. It´s kinda rare to not see him presented as a broody and dark guy (except for in Lore Olympus maybe) so this was really refreshing. This book had many laugh-out-loud and super sweet moments that I couldnt let go of, I had to reread them over and over. I also liked how we didnt only see Persephones or the female pov on patriarchy but also how Hades as a "powerful man" suffers in the role he´s been assigned to by society. Furthermore the underworld and how it was presented here was really interesting and it was just beautiful to see how Persephone and Hades changed it for the better together. I really, really enjoyed reading this one!

Ein griechischer Klassiker in neuem, feministischen Gewand!

Bea Fitzgerald zeigt in ihrem Debütroman eine neue und in meinen Augen auch deutlich coolere Variante der Geschichte von Persephone und Hades auf. Mit irre witzigen Dialogen entführt sie uns in die Unterwelt, übt Kritik am Patriarchat und wirft uns mit Hades einen absoluten Green Flag Bookboyfriend vor die Füße-lieben wir! Ich kann’s kaum erwarten welche anderen Mythen sie uns in Zukunft auf feministische Weise präsentieren wird!
