I really liked the twists and turns of this novel. The narrator did a fantastic job bringing each character to life, and acting out more than just dialogue. I really loved the character arcs of Evelyn and Martine, and I was very satisfied with the ending. Evelyn as the narrator was rarely lovable, but she was brilliant and smart and so observant, and her moments of empathy were meaningful. This book was pretty science-heavy, but it never felt difficult to understand. I was riveted from start to finish!
