The Song of Achilles

This book was a gift from a friend and it is in my definitely part of my top list! So beautifully written, it made my heart break. I loved how this story gives Patroclus a voice. I've been thinking that this book is the “Heartstopper” of Greek mythology. Even though it is based on a genre of ancient folklore and the dialogues are a bit far from modern, it is very light reading and enjoyable. I know that for people that have read the Iliad, some characters might've not been portrayed equally. But I feel like the idea of the writer was to show the vulnerability that emanates from them accepting their feelings. I would 100% recommend it!
