This book was full of twists and turns, some of which I found more compelling than others. The big twist that the whole plot was some cooked-up punishment a la Black Mirror kind of felt unnecessary to me. It didn't ruin the rest of the book, but it introduced a lot of moral quandaries that I don't think added much. OTOH, the Evelyn twist? IMMACULATE. All in all, though, I definitely couldn't put it down and I would recommend it!
