Thanks to Joan and Suzanne for giving me a chance to review and read an ARC of their book!  

Summary:

Is Pandora about to open up a box of trouble?
One of the few mortals at Mount Olympus Academy, Pandora is famous for her mega quizzical nature—not that she thinks there’s anything wrong with being curious, of course!
Her curiosity kicks into high gear when a godboy named Epimetheus brings a mysterious box to school. Epimetheus is the nephew of an MOA teacher in whose class Pandora once opened another box that sent a few weather disasters to earth. Still, Pandora can’t help but take a peek inside this new box when it unexpectedly lands in her lap. What could be the harm in that, right? Little does she know that opening the box will open up far more trouble than she ever expected!
Authors Joan Holub and Suzanne Williams put a modern spin on classic myths with the Goddess Girls series. Follow the ins and outs of divine social life at Mount Olympus Academy, where the most privileged godboys and goddessgirls in the Greek pantheon hone their mythical skills.

My Review:

I've read most of the Goddess Girls books and this might be my favorite!

As we can see by the title, this is all about Pandora! I've read the Pandora myth and I got all confused because the authors have a different approach to the myth in the book. I'm not going to spoil it for you, but since you guys all should know the myth and how the 'bubbles' flew down to earth and affected the humans, that's not what happens here. 

I thought that the way the 'bubbles' affected the characters were very funny! All their personalities changed and they got all weird and funny.

We also finally get to read in Pandora's point of view! I learned something new about her too. I always thought she spoke in questions all the time, but she doesn't alway! Only 99.9% of the time! And we also get to know her more and actually learn that she's really kind and caring. I also didn't know she was friends with Pheme and Medusa! 

And with Pandora's story, there has to be the people who bring the box! Epimetheus and his brother whose name I've already forgotten. Sorry! Haha. Anyways, it seems like Pandora might have a crush on one of them..

Overall, I really liked this book! I really do think it's my favorite out of the Goddess Girls Series! 4.5 Stars!
