The only man who wasn't a weird creepy rapist was the male lead. Therefore this hetero girl looking for love and acceptance didn't really have any choice to being with and it felt much less feministic than the description was trying to tell me.
This girl STILL didn't have a choice because if she didn't want to be forever alone she HAD to stick with this dude.
And I enjoy a more chill Hades but this one was so unremarkable that I forgot everything but his two main things about him after two months.
It was alright but the parts I like, where a book becomes three dimensional, with side characters and sub plots and different places, it fell kind of flat for me.
The one thing I really liked was the relationship with her mother. There was one sentence in there that I underlined for myself. I don't recall it now but something about how despite what her mother does to her, her mother does it out of love and a misguided sense to protect her and she can't hate her for that. How she will always love her mother and won't really cut her off because she still hopes she can make her understand or something and that resonated with me. A surprisingly complex feeling expressed in a more superficial book.
So yes, it's a one and done book for me.
