Jim's Review
🐛
Jim knew how the Iliad ended and STILL wasn't prepared. Madeline Miller, you brilliant human, you made a worm weep openly. The love story between Achilles and Patroclus is so tender and achingly beautiful that Jim had to burrow into a pile of tissues afterward. This book ruined Jim in the best possible way. Read it, cry, and then read it again.
