I liked the over-spanning discussion of the ambiguity of character and actions, Evelyn's portrayal, her work ethics and un-ethics, her sexuality, probably the most. The writing style was easy to follow and could perfectly capture the essence of whatever was presented.

I did not dislike the plot twist at the end, but it didn't really add anything to the main story for me. It felt like an attempt to find something to connect both main characters in a meaningful way and therefore didn't really catch me.

Overall I really enjoyed the book and find that it has many important scenes.
