De opbouw van het boek is enorm goed. Doorheen 3 tijdslijnen volg je dezelfde personages en op het einde valt alles samen. 
Het boek heeft me nooit verveelt, ik wou telkens weten wat er daarna ging gebeuren. Het verhaal krijgt zoveel vorm en na elk hoofdstuk wordt er wel weer een extra element aan toegevoegd. Het voelt alsof je meekijkt over de schouder van Eva. 

Fan!

Voor een debuut zeker niet slecht!
3 verhaallijnen, allemaal cumulerend naar het einde toe. Beetje een anticlimax wel aangezien ik had zien aankomen wat er gebeurde. 
heel mooi en vlot geschreven weliswaar.
