Reader’s Note
7 out of 10
Good on the island on her own. Less good once the men start arriving. I don't need Odysseus in everything.

Everyone in my group chat had read this already and kept telling me to hold on until the lions. Liked her a lot, liked the island, found the middle a parade of famous men arriving to be a disappointment, which I don't think was accidental.7 out of 10@tinyapartmentbigtbr
