I hated Evelyn's first choice then forgave her. Watching her survive felt intimate and painful. The motherhood reveal landed like thunder.

The prose paints Evelyn's shame with tender cruelty. Beautiful and unsettling in equal measure.

So she sleeps with her drugged boss? Ridiculous but strangely addictive, guilty pleasure. I binge watched until midnight 😂
