I’m conflicted about this book. On one hand, I sympathize with the character, but on the other, the story feels a bit too melodramatic for my taste. While I appreciate the emotional depth, it leans a little too much into the “soapy” territory for me.
That said, I absolutely love Evelyn’s relationship with Harry. It reminds me of Elizabeth Taylor’s undying love for Montgomery Clift—unconventional, yet so genuine and profound. It’s relationships like these that give the story real depth, even when the rest feels a bit over the top.
