![]() ![]() There’s fat-phobia here, when at first Eva doesn’t want to be photographed in a bikini after “pigging out” at lunch. Though Eva’s “curvy”, we are constantly reminded. Not just from Gideon’s POV but also Eva’s. There’s a lot of emphasis on Eva’s chest and posterior. So much repetition about how much Eva and Gideon love each other, how attractive they find each other. Not really a surprise that this is the longest novel the author’s written – it didn’t need to be. Most characters have their own subplots, but we don’t see them through to conclusion, so they come across as filler. You can so tell the author wrote this book with a TV adaptation in mind. (I hoped Eva and Gideon would break up and never get back together.) ![]() It is what I expected, and not what I wanted. Everything you want.” So says the novel’s ads, but it turns out I’m not the “you” in question.
