| Summary |
In the aftermath of major surgery, sixteen-year-old Eve struggles with pain, grief, and guilt while becoming increasingly dependent on pain medication, revisiting memories of her best friend, and exploring a potential romance. |
|
Everything was fine before. Eve and Lidia could hide their physical differences inside goofy Burger Hut costumes, make each other laugh, just hang together. Everything is different now. Cut open, rearranged, stapled shut, Eve is left alone to recover in a world of pain and a body she no longer recognizes. Her only companions are a bottle of Roxanol and an infuriating neighbor. Eve makes a pact with the devil, sacrificing pieces of a place she doesn't know to return to a place she does. Is having Lidia back worth the price? -- adapted from jacket |
