4⭐️(?)/2🌶️

First I’ll rank NetGalley for an ALC of this audiobook! 

Now… I saw this book all over Twitter recently, people calling it bad and all sorts of other things and I was interested. Usually I enjoy the silly books people hate so I thought why not. 

I was so confused for 75% of this book, but I persisted. I will say the description was a bit cringe… and okay like half the books writing was also sort of cringe. But if you just take a step back and enjoy the cringe for the comedy it’s meant to be, it’s not that bad of a book! 

The plot is there, somewhere. It had a lot of promise. The writing unfortunately felt a little juvenile for me at times which made the world building moments hard to grasp but I caught on eventually. 

I loved the modern Greek tie ins, love the pet partners, and the trials. As an audiobook, it was super entertaining how well it was voice acted, though a lot of Alexis’s dialogue was while she was losing her mind and it low key gave me a headache to listen to the slurring of speech lmao. 

Overall I enjoyed the story. Would I read this again? No. Would I have DNF’d this as a book? Probably. Audio is much more digestible while I do other work so it vertically helped. Will I read book 2 next year? Maybe, yes if audiobook 😉

If you have spare time and like Greek inspired books I’d say give this a shot for sure. Just remember not every book has to be a literary masterpiece to be enjoyed, and don’t forget to laugh along the way!

(And to be clear the ? In my rating is because it’s low key a 3, but I was blown away by how silly this was so I’m just confused 😂)
