I had hear many people praise this title and I was very excited to sink in and give it a read. Eve, the main character, literally starts off the story answering her front door causing the spiral of problems that follow. Overall, I think the story had a great start and some great ideas along the way. However, once I got to the 60% mark and saw that the story wasn't amounting to much I got a little disheartened. Upon completion, I really felt like this had a bit of a cop out ending that didn't satisfy the overall direction the story was going. I would still read other works by this author in the future, as their style works really well and they were able to keep adding layer of depth that kept me pushing toward the finish.

This title was really difficult to get into. The pacing was very slow, but serious and the narrator was not very interesting, so it made it difficult for me to want to continue reading.
