[3.75] If I had a penny every time Atalanta fell for a boy she met in the forest, i would have two pennies, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice. In all seriousness, for most of my reading experience I didn’t know what to think of this book. The first part was slow, I struggled to connect with Atalanta and as the story progressed I was more intrigued by the romance subplot (or what was supposed to be the subplot) than her story in itself. The ending won me over and filled me with emotions. I still think that most of the book would’ve benefited from a stronger heroine amongst men presence.
