What a thing it seems that sometimes you can control how your heart feels I would like to read the book and see how Scarlet Leone deals with the situation with cy.

I would love to find out if their tender, unspoken love stand up against the trials that lie ahead for the star-crossed couple. The review has made such an impression about the book. I love romance and this book sounds very interesting for my liking.

Congrats on BOTD. Scarlett's story is quite common, so I don't think I will be interested in reading that.

Being a lover of romantic novels, I am extremely interested in finding out if Scarlett gets her happily ever-after with her prince charming Cy Smith based on the fact that she planned her life out. My kind of read thanks for the review.

Sounds like a sad story. I wonder what the twist is at the end. Athena seems like a great character and I think growing up in a broken family made her stronger. Thank you for your review.

I'm sad that I don't have a Kindle Unlimited subscription anymore as I'd love to read this book in full. The review is well written and contains everything the guidelines ask for! Seems very official and Iit only made me want to read the whole book that much more. Great writing! :)

This young adult romance book seems like it is well-written with a touch of a modern day version of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Great review!

I enjoy romance novels like this one that is much tamer than the usual adult erotica I usually come upon. The religious aspect is going to make this a good novel because it will test the characters' will to choose love over religion. Congrats to the author for having the BOTD.

Scarlett seems like a unique young lady, and including Mormon community to this story adds an interesting twist. I hope she was able to live her life.

This sounds like an interesting premise. Dating outside of one's religion can be difficult, but it sounds like the characters are smitten with one another. Thanks for the lovely review.

I’m curious about the Greek mythology metaphors that the author uses, and if Scarlett and Cy’s relationship stand the test of time. Thanks for your detailed review!

I don't usually like love stories or romances, but I do like stories told with a unique point of view, as you had described. Great review!

This review is brilliant. At first I didn't understand why the title of the book is "Becoming Athena" but reading this review explained it well. The author did a really great job. Congratulations!

I'm not really big on romances, however, this one does sound interesting. I can understand where she is coming from not wanting to fall in love with someone abusive like her mother did, but it also makes me hope that she does end up happy with a love that she deserves.
