Wow. Read this one in two days. I couldn’t put it down. Not at all what I expected it to be. Love the complexity of both loving/empathizing with Evelyn and also completely not understanding/disliking her. Complex characters going through complex things. But also put in a matter of fact way (or maybe it’s because it’s someone telling about their past?) so that you don’t sit there disagreeing with the path the author chose. It doesn’t feel like ‘a path the author chose’, rather these feel like real people. 

I’m seeing that there’s to be a Netflix adaptation of the book. Books to movies don’t always turn out well, but I think this could be done very well if given a good budget. Nervously excited to see what comes of it.

I would never say that this book surprised me. But it’s not necessary for the type of book this is. In fact it’s actually a credit to this book that I was never surprised. Everything that happens has its purpose and is a consequence of a choice made. 
This is a tragedy through and through and while I did not feel sad I was broken-hearted 
Great book
