In this retelling of a Greek myth, Eury is visiting her family in the Bronx after the trauma of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. Ato, the spirit of death, seems to have followed her too. She knows that she can't out run Ato forever, that he will catch up to her eventually. But in the mean time, she plans on living her best life with the bachata-singing cutie, Pheus. If you wanted to hold on to those rollercoaster beach-side romances a little bit long, we highly recommend this one.
