The webcomic Oh My Gods is named after this Trope. Weregeek began to bless us with prayers to the geeks' pantheon: At the school, she quickly befriends Nicole and Troy. Phoebe makes it onto her cross country team, running is her natural talent. Soon after, she gets swept up in controversies including her, Griffin, Nicole, Troy, Stella, and her dead dad.

At the very end of the book, Phoebe finds out the biggest secret of her life: Phoebe is a descendant of Nike, the Goddess of Victory. She then proceeds to talk to Griffin, who tells her he was destined to be with a descendant of Nike. They start a relationship together. The ending is entirely predictable and the writing style is distracting in its lack of transitions. Jan 11, Sara rated it liked it Shelves: Phoebe, about to be a senior in high school, has big future plans that are suddenly interrupted when her mom returns from a trip to Greece and announces she's met a guy and they're getting married immediately and then they're all moving to Greece.

Talk about a ridiculous beginning! Her mom actually lays this news on Phoebe after she wins a race at the end of a running camp good timing, no? Phoebe's new stepsister is a royal pain for no reason, but Phoebe makes other friends at school and finds herself increasingly attracted to a fellow runner. Plot contrivances aside, the story is cute. This is a quick read, and it was pretty fun. However, there were just too many things that felt forced for me to overlook - some of the writing made it seem like the author was trying too hard to make it sound like a teen was narrating, and not all of the characters were fully fleshed out for me to understand their actions or motivations.

Another complaint is that the whole catalyst of Phoebe moving to Greece was soooo ridiculous. Her mom couldn't wait to marry this stranger until after Phoebe completed her last year of high school? Their relationship didn't feel real - and her mom was supposed to be a therapist! I thought Phoebe and her stepdad had a lot better camaraderie than did she and her mom, which is too bad. Plus, so much of the angst in the plot had to do with kids making bets or feeling like they can't share stuff with their friends; it wasn't written in a way that made me buy it all. I wish there had been more "real" emotions and actions in the book, as so much felt forced, but the book overall was still fairly cute.

I'll read the next installment, but hopefully it is a better than this one. I guess I was hoping this book had more to do with the Greek gods or even to do with Greece itself, but this felt like a standard chick lit-y teen novel that just happened to be set in Greece and in which the kids were all descendants of the gods. Jul 25, Peep Pop! This was actually more like 2. I didn't really expect to like it, especially since I'd read Forgive My Fins and didn't like that. I thought it was ok weird cover, too. I got really annoyed during parts of this book.

I thought that it was odd that Phoebe's mom would come back from a family reunion Pheobe's deceased dad - by the way, said family is never even mentioned in the rest of the book. They go to Greece and they never even see them?!? Her mom was only This was actually more like 2. Her mom was only gone for 6 days, but she's in love and they have one month to get back to Greece to their new family. I thought that was a joke, it's not, it's love.

What kind of therapist mom are you? So Phoebe was understandably cranky. She was an awesome distance runner with plans to go to USC, etc, etc. She annoyed me at times but she was a teen, and had been through a lot so it was kind of understandable. I liked her determination. Of course, I thought her infatuation with Griffin was weird but evidently she felt the same way because she questioned it herself. I did like that Phoebe was tough. She didn't really sit back and let bullies pick on her.

When she got tough in the locker room I cheered her on. Hooray for not being a push over! I think some parts of the book could have been left out. But overall it wasn't bad and I actually enjoyed the book at times. It was fairly clean with some light kissing and evil stepsisters, beautiful bullies, blatant product placement - usual things like that.

I would rate this book a 3. I'm usually very interested in books that have a spin on Greek Mythology, so I didn't doubt I'd be interested in this book as well. I will say there needed to be more characterization. I had so many questions throughout the book that would have helped me get to know the characters more but were never really answered What God is she from?

I wish we got more about Damien and Stella and get to heart of why Stella is the way she is. Along that line, I didn't really love Valerie as a mother character. She is a therapist in the book, yet she seems clueless as to why Phoebe would be mad at her after the move and isn't honest with her. In the end, some of this is explained but its never explained why Valerie and Damien couldn't have just gotten married later? I could totally understand why Phoebe was mad.. A random character I loved was Coach Lenny.

Super random character but I liked how he encouraged Phoebe and was there for her compared to almost every other character. Lastly, There needed to be more of Justin in the beginning of the book if they were going to bring him into other parts of the book, because it just seemed really random. Overall, I really enjoyed the book, I just finished it wanting more from the characters. I wanted to know more about them and who they are. I know there is a sequel so maybe that would help?

I'm an Amazon Affiliate. If you're interested in buying Oh. I'll make a small commission! Oct 19, Liralen rated it liked it Shelves: The concept of this book is great -- a school for the descendants of Greek gods. How much fun is that? Plus, Phoebe is a runner, which makes me super happy. So it's a light, fairly snappy book. First of all, it's a little bit ridiculous that her mother meets a guy and decides to marry him and move her daughter off to Greece without thinking that her daughter might find this a little bit unreasonable.

Her mother also seems to want to get married twic The concept of this book is great -- a school for the descendants of Greek gods. Her mother also seems to want to get married twice, since the wedding happens before they move to Greece but she spends the rest of the book Again, I think the concept is absolutely terrific and original. But after Phoebe's mother and stepfather explain that the school is only for descendants of Greek gods, nobody bothers to explain how she can go there. A little fishy, hmm? I don't think it's actually spoiling anything to say that view spoiler [well of course she turns out to have a godly ancestor hide spoiler ].

Meanwhile, Nicole refuses to say who her ancestor is although I'm guessing Demeter and Phoebe doesn't seem to think it's odd that she can run world-class times against, well, the relatives of gods.

Sep 09, Chicklitgirl rated it liked it Recommends it for: Greek Mythology, hot guys, strong female protagonists, whats not to like?

Not to mention a warm-fuzzy-feeling ending. Oh My Gods is a wonderful feel good, chick lit novel, and I really enjoyed reading it. I loved how some parts of it were totally unpredictable and how some of it made me laugh out loud. I also really liked how Phoebe wasn't a doe eyed damsel in distress, but was a strong female who was so very passionate about sports[running]!

Everything about her was refreshing from Greek Mythology, hot guys, strong female protagonists, whats not to like? A yummy, light young adult romance, with Greek myth talk, godly powers, a few laughs and some sports [track] thrown into the mix, Oh My Gods is perfect for you if you're in the mood of something light, but not completely fluffy. This book does have a sequel, but is good enough to stand alone, since there isn't a cliff hanger ending, so its good for all those who don't want to get involved in a series.

I was so ecstatic while buying it, because good hardcover books are so hard to come by cheap, and sometimes price doesn't even matter since they aren't available here at all. Dec 01, Heather rated it it was ok. Mainly it felt like it was written super young. I like more than my share of YA but this was so very juvenile and full of ridiculous plot points, unrealistic dialogue, and uber-cliche characters, from the 'bad boy' to the 'evil stepsister' to the 'hippy granola friend' actually named Granola! And don't get me started on the heavy-handed 'oh this guy is so cute and nice he can't possibly be boyfriend material, no I'm madly in love with the boy who's a misogynistic asshole to me because he's sooo cute and I know there must be a heart of goooold in there somewhere' because gag me.

So, um, yeah, just in case, and so that you knew. I gotta start saying this book was quite short.

The characters were a bit shallow for my taste. At the begining, all she did was cry Mild spoiler ahead. At the begining, all she did was cry for the first few pages. Yeah, we get it. But seriously, a cry fest with friends? Anyway, in the middle of the book all she did was get angry and run, run, run. It was therapy Then she was like you don't like me or care about me.

Everyone was just good, or bad. It was a childesh way to see things. On the other hand, you could fit into the category of cute or hot, but only if you were a dude. Yeah, if you are wondering, I'll read at least the next book in the series. A fun and fast read! Phoebe's life is about to change dramatically, when her moms moves them to a tiny island in Greece to live with her new husband.

What Phoebe doesn't know is that the island's only Academy is a super private school for Gods' descendents. She feels like an outcast, the only normal -nothos- kid in a school filled with semi-gods. But that doesn't stop her from pursuing her dream in running and making the school's team.
