We Are the Match
We Are the Match | Mary E. Roach
1 post | 1 read
In this glittering, sapphic reimagining of Helen of Troy set in modern day mobster Greece, Helen is the daughter of a powerful crime lord and Paris is the woman hellbent on destroying her--if they don't fall for each other first. They're thrown together in an opulent world of privilege, power, and cover-ups--and the closer they grow, the more the fragile balance of power in the world of crime lords begins to fray. Because if Helen doesn't choose to abandon her newfound connection with Paris and marry into the alliance her father arranged, they could all go to war. And Helen and Paris might just be ready to let them.

Mehso-so

Helen and Paris‘ love story but make it sapphic and mafia.

I don't think the Greek mythology element works at all. It's barely present and labeling it a reimagining gives expectations that the book doesn't meet.

It's an easy, fun dark mafia romance. That aspect of it is pretty good, it's not to my personal tastes but I can imagine a lot of people will enjoy it.

PuddleJumper What stops me from rating it higher is the writing style. It did not work for me. It was all tell, no show and a little bit cringey.
