I like the way Eva’s sorry was told through food and other characters and how many of them came back recurringly. But I didn’t feel like we really got to know her. We got a better idea of some of the other characters than her, and the ones that were most fully developed were not very likable so I had to just plod through those chapters to get on to the next. I did like the ending.
