The opening of this book had me immediately hooked. The author had done extremely well in laying down the foundation of the story whilst keeping your attention intact with the moving plots. So far, it feels very reminiscent of the 2000s rom-com, the writing is simplistic in a way that makes it captivating. I really hope to continue liking this book.

I badly want the badge but I am STRUGGLING. For such a highly rated book I expected it to be much better! I think the characters are the biggest issue for me so far, I feel absolutely nothing towards them and none of them have a personality so far which is a shame really.

I’d forgotten a fair bit from Bride so it took me a good minute to organise the whose-who and whose-where of it all. But once I got back into it I had the best time. I laughed and cried, it was emotionally all over the place

Natalie Haynes continues to amaze me, No Friend to this House is written in the same style and tone as Stone Blind. Making it engaging, entertaining and emotional. Weaving in the experiences of a myriad of characters (human, animal and divine) added depth to the story and showed the complex interconnected nature of Greek Mythology. It also solidified my long held belief that Jason is the worst.
