i expected to love this but didnt :/ madeline miller’s prose is usually my fav, although this time i did not really enjoy it. it was also weirdly vulgar? i wasnt crazy about the story either. overall, not my fav.

i am begging sarah adler to not make me cry with her next book.
the relationship in this book was basically perfect. i only wish millie had apologized to hollis for some of the things she said in a moment at the end.
