Bookroo's summary

Aphrodite, the goddess of love, grapples with jealousy when her makeover for Athena draws unexpected attention. As godboys flock to her friend, Aphrodite questions her own allure. Meanwhile, a surprising crush from the unassuming Hephaestus, the god of the smith, complicates her feelings. In this mythological tale, Aphrodite discovers that love isn't always what it seems and can appear in the most unexpected forms. Will she embrace these new emotions or let jealousy cloud her path? Dive into a world where ancient myths meet modern dilemmas, and love takes on many surprising shapes.

From the publisher

Well-researched and true to the original myths, each volume in the Goddess Girls series addresses contemporary issues like friendships and relationships from a classically accurate–and entertaining–persepective. In Aphrodite the Beauty, Aphrodite, goddessgirl of love, must deal with jealousy after giving Athena a makeover. It doesn’t seem fair that the godboys pay more attention to her friend when Aphrodite is supposed to be destined for love! She also copes with a crush from an unlikely source–the nerdy Hephaestus (god of the smith)–and learns that love comes in many forms.
