Eve is a struggling 26-year-old with a dead end job and a tricky living situation, she starts finding herself struggling with delayed grief over her friend's death in college. Soon Eve loses her job, and finds a new gig as a life model. But as her mental health spirals, Eve begins to lose control of reality and things get darker.

This is definitely something I'd classify as 'sad girl fiction' with a story following a millennial young woman struggling with the expectations of life, the death of her friend and her father's alcoholism. I did enjoy following Eve go about her life, though at times it was hard watching her spiral and things getting worse and worse for her. I liked the writing style, and there were times the emotions and feelings of the story were so strong, I felt for Eve so much. She is a character who is very much alone in the world - her family consists of a dead-beat dad, her relationship with her flatmates who are like a family crumbles during the course of the story and then she has her maybe-boyfriend Max who thankfully is a really decent guy.

One of the problems I had with this book is the troubling way a sexual assault case is handled during the course of the novel. It's very clear a rape occurs on page - at least to the readers - and we see the character struggle with what has happened and blame herself but at no point during the rest of the story does she tell herself or others that what happened was wrong and it was rape. I would have liked this to have been explored more in terms of the character opening up about what had happened, acknowledging it wasn't her fault and the perpetrator getting some kind of punishment for what he did - none of which happens which I felt very disappointed in,
