Hated the romance, literally skimmed full pages of smut. Just here for the politics. 
funny reflective fast-paced

In the first half of the book, the essays seemed to connect to each other, though loosely, but in the second half, it just felt random . I don't think this is the fault of Lauren Graham herself but I feel like any good editor would have ordered the essays differently.

I think this book was a little too fast paced - Eurydice went from not trusting Orpheus to touch her to allowing him to touch her within less than 24 hours. 
emotional inspiring reflective fast-paced

I laughed, I cried, I am left aching for more

I loved this book and now I'm just so sad 😭😭😭😭 knowing there won't be a happy ending really doesn't help, it just makes me more hopeful that I can somehow will it to end differently
