Eve is loveable and I believe her tug back and forth, her son is rightly awful but I surprised myself by seeing and minding his heart, however deep. At times read as white feminism but I guess that’s the point; to reach those further from touchy subjects and draw them just a bit closer. Would have loved it to be longer and dip further into everyone’s stories, losing Amanda felt bereaving but I guess it did to Eve too. (My most analytic review yet, strange? Not sure what that says.) Ate it in a day and a half, will probably eat again.

Not fully

they’re 18/46

adult/minor, but close enough and spoken about as such. All other warnings are in the context of it being not okay. The author is not condoning any of it.
