The fuck
Called it

Bobak is my favorite character.

Gotta add, like… Eva, I know you’re going through a rough time, but that doesn’t give you cause to call every other woman a bitch and sleep with your ex even though you’re so broken up about your husband allegedly sleeping with someone else too? That’s like, textbook hypocrisy.

I’m reading this for the March 2023 “Together We Read” on Libby. So far the plot is definitely interesting— murder mystery, magic, and a mother’s mental health— but the mother in question, the titular protagonist Eva, is really hard for me to like. I’d have to get through the book to find out whether or not this is on purpose, but it doesn’t feel on purpose.
