The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

5.0

Upon further reflection, I have to get over myself and give this book what it deserves. 5 STARS!!!

My friend told me I'd be shredded and put back together throughout my reading experience. He didn't lie! I had no expectations when I started, but I knew from the first page it would be a book I had to take my time to absorb and be present with. I didn't want it to end (taking my sweet time as I read), yet I wanted to get to the next happening ASAP!

I NEED a Patroclus by my side: hand in hand, head on chest, heart to heart, to climb trees with, soak in the rays of the sun, fight battles...you get my drift.

I loved this book like five golden stars pouring out of the night sky!
