I find her obsession or , hyper fixation on her research and her work throughout the years and how she compare that to her Ex-husband's inability to understand her and appreciate how focus in determined she was really takes away from the thriller or suspense aspect of the book. I found the narrative to be mostly predictable, and very slow paced. And the most I got from this book was a fact that Evelyn was struggling to find the emotional connection with it within herself Based on her upbringing, but overall the strongest theme in this book had to do with misogyny and her, realizing how dark and conniving her ex-husband Nathan was.
At first, I thought this was in untrustworthy first person recall of Nathan's character, but as a book progresses readers will find that Evelyn's commentary on him and her stories, and her overall interpretations of who he was is actually not that far off. I will say that I appreciate Evelyn getting to know her emotions better through Martine was a nice touch.

I don’t know if this book is a masterpiece in general or just a masterpiece for me, in this moment I’m in. I’m too deep in my own experience that resonates too loudly for me to comment on writing or storyline. I think both of those things were enjoyable and interesting, but the overall experience of this book is the emotion and the characters. I can see this falling flat for someone who just wants a fun sci-fi romp and not a look at how parenting, society, and intimate partner violence shapes people and makes us question how much free will we have and if it’s possible to break the programming in a world that wants us pleasant, submissive, and unquestioning.
