I’m BORED. The story skips right over all the most interesting parts of Evelyn’s life. Nothing about how she learned to fake privilege when she was just starting out, nothing but brief mentions of the guilt she felt hoarding millions after growing up broke, breezing past relevant historical context from Cuba to Stonewall, like she’s explaining it to the reader but has no thoughts of her own.

Evelyn is the ultimate flawless protagonist, eager to do whatever the plot requires. The plot says it’s time to have sex? She wants to have sex! It’s time to have a baby? She wants to have a baby!
How lucky that she is just compassionate enough to be likable but just detached enough to act without hesitation or introspection. It’s painfully obvious at every turn that her story has already been written for her.
