Girl Meets Boy is part of a series of books that are retellings of famous myths. There are books in this collection by A.S. Byatt and Margaret Atwood, among others. This book is a riff on the myth of Iphis and Ianthe from Ovid's Metamorphoses. While not exactly a retelling, it plays on the story of a girl raised as a boy until her wedding day. In the story, we get girl meets boy, girl meets girl, and girls take on corporate greed. It's interesting, interestingly written, and very satisfying.
