We Are the Match by Mary E. Roach

Helen and Paris’ love story but make it sapphic and mafia.
I don't think the Greek mythology element works at all. It's barely present and labeling it a reimagining gives expectations that the book doesn't meet.
It's an easy, fun dark mafia romance. That aspect of it is pretty good, it's not to my personal tastes but I can imagine a lot of people will enjoy it.
What stops me from rating it higher is the writing style. It did not work for me. It was all tell, no show and a little bit cringey.
