I wanted so much more from this. I found Eve posting the picture of herself (the catalyst for the rest of the book’s events) to be a more interesting exploration of sex and feminism than the whole relationship between Nathan and Eve (the rest of the contents of the book). Their dynamic is tired and Eve rarely extrapolates anything of substance from it— we get pages of worship for this man with almost no reflection from any source. Even if Eve is meant to be too deep within the relationship to offer us anything, we should be getting it from other devices: another character, motifs, symbols, anything. It’s a good concept and Nathan’s manipulation is skillfully done, but it feels pointless without analysis and introspection. Basically, this feels like telling a story only for the sake of telling it, not to say anything about women’s sexuality (as it’s advertised to do).
