I have just started reading this book. But it already has a tight grip on my heart. Maybe I'm particularly fragile right now, but so often women are barely real people in media but these women?? these women feel real, like me or like someone who's looked into my mind, is holding my soul. Mythology was always cool but so violently male centered that it burned but this is mythology from the other side and it's so real.

Just as I’d finally begun to harden in my certainty that I simply hate Winter and always will, this book warmed me up again.

This book destroyed me. It's a reinterpretation of the myth of Circe, one of the OG witches in Greek mythology who was exiled to an island for eternity. She's a minor character in the Odyssey, but is given the lead role in this. Unbelievably poignant writing about life and death. Sobbed at the ending - it's a beautiful book.

There's nothing like seeing the city from a plane windows. Sparkling like stars down there. The little people in their little cars and twinkling homes. Feels so bittersweet and human somehow.

More specifically, watching your favorite rom com and then your crush's favorite rom com (is there an adult word for crush), back to back at the same time as they are watching them. But instead of the social exhaustion of video calling you just text while you watch them. Even better you guys like each other mutually, so it should be exhilerating, but they cannot and will not be with you so instead it's just a lesson in your terrible self restraint. Exhilerating anyway. Good movies, good conversation. Unbeatable.
