Phoebe's mother goes away to Greece for one week and comes back not only engaged but plans to get married that weekend and whisk Phoebe away to Athens with her. Once Phoebe arrives in Athens she is informed that the school she will be attending is a school for the descendants of the Greek Gods but they are allowing her to attend the school even though she is a mere mortal. I loved the sound of the book. It sounded like a light ya read with Greek mythology (which I love) what I ended up with wasThis novel was cute! I did skim chunks at a time not fully engaged, but a fun quick beach read!! If one needs a sweet & G rated novel to get away from reality for with a mind break this is a great choice!! Cute storyline & likeable characters!!!!
I was disappointed. I thought it would be enough cheese to make it laughable, but realistic enough to make it fun to read.

Lets see where to begin . This book was amazing I love every page. I love reading Greek mythology books. Childs did a great job writing this book. It had just the right pace; there was never a moment with the book. All the characters are great. Nike is one of my favorite Greek goddess.

This YA novel of losing one's identity, being forced to adapt to a highly charged new emotional environment, and redefining what love and friendship mean to you is a cute, nicely thought out romp.Greek gods, we all know, are myths. Right? Well, not so much in Childs's book. She's updated the whole "gods are real" trope that's so popular in romantic fiction these days to include teens. I think the intended audience will lap this up, since it plays into adolescent exceptionalism (the illusion that
Before I wrote this review, I did a quick blog search for others reviews of it. And what I found stumped methis book is adored everywhere except for a few places that do like it, just had qualms about the character development. Im wondering just how this became everyones pet.... I mustve not read the same novel as everyone else.In the first three pages, its established Phoebes a runner, her moms a therapist, and her moms getting married with a man shes known for six days (and tells Phoebe this
Wow... that was...better than I thought...I am glad I picked this book up! Can't wait to get my hands on Goddess Boot Camp!
