I was conflicted on what to rate this one!

First, it's a lot more memoir than is advertised and so I'm torn between being disappointed that there wasn't more depth to the part on Greek mythology, but also I do like memoirs!

Then there's the content of the memoir itself, which was, on the whole a super negative self-portrayal, and potentially (I'd have to think about it some more and check in with some other people), in parts, problematic.

I also don't think that listening to this book is the best way to consume it. For the parts of Greek myth that were included, seeing the names written down on paper and also being able to quickly flick back and forth to remind myself of who's who would have been super helpful.

I've also left the book not really remembering much of the Greek stories and I think part of that is to do with an unclear narrative thread running through the book.

Still though, my interest was sustained for most of the book and I did enjoy the idea of reclaiming/reframing what it means to be a woman classed as a monster.
