I felt the book took a turn towards the end with discussions about consent and sexual assault perhaps suggesting that in her manipulated state, Eve is an unreliable narrator.
The book doesn’t leave you with a clear answer about if this was actually assault at times or whether Nathan assaulted others. It’s very disconcerting.

I honestly cannot rate this book. It was infuriating and also page-turning. Very dissociative feminism. Clearly going for some capital D Discourse, and unfortunately I do want to see what the girlies are saying.
