This was a difficult book to listen to. There are 3 different Eva's "timelines" to follow. Perhaps in the printed book it is easier to follow. We have the original Eva's story, the unconscious Eva's "dream" story, and what is happening in reality in the current timeline.
Each time an Eva chapter starts, you don't know which one it will be. And as it is the same characters but portrayed in different ways it can take a few sentences to get back in that headspace. I wish the author had not had Eva use the same name for every life. It would have made things easier had the past chapters being called Evangeline (not her name but just an example). Due to this the book is rated lower than previous books.
