Took me almost a year to finish something that I could’ve in a day and I blame the writing. However, the twist was very good and I would consider re-reading at a faster pace to get the whole picture even though I know the twist. It’s the type of book you’d go back to see what you missed.

EDIT
Going back again to give it 2 stars instead of 3. The stereotypes, the sexsim , the fat phobia, and the misogynistic way it was written really gets on my nerves.
The whole plot about Alcestis and the interpretation was brilliant and drove me to read the original Alcestis, and ironically enough, it made me hate the book even more!
