Eve is in a relationship with her girlfriend Romi and she’s in love with her, but at the same time she feels the need for more. That’s the reason why one day she posts some nude pictures of herself on social media, and she gets a message from a stranger, Olivia, asking her to meet. When she goes to meet Olivia, though, she realises that the woman is in a deeply complex relationship with a charming man, Nathan, and the three of them start to meet in secret. After a while, Eve begins to question Nathan’s intentions and she suspects he might be manipulative, but she suppresses her worries, at least until life won’t push her to make a decision.

This book left me with lots of food for thought. It made me think about the delicate balance between healthy and unhealthy relationships, and it also posits interesting questions about consent and sexuality. At the same time, the novel felt somewhat flat, as if there wasn’t enough movement in it. Some sentences are truly beautiful, but the prose is generally quite static. I’d say I appreciated what the book was trying to achieve more than I actually enjoyed it. It’s an interesting read, but I do think it could be altogether more enjoyable.
