About the book: 2017 / After the death of her parents, Evgenia’s life is on the verge of a foul. She does not look for new interests, limits her social circle to her only friend, and is attacked by the class leader. She is also secretly infatuated with her older brother, on whom, due to the tragedy, she is now immensely dependent. He struggles with this fact in the only effective way - falling in love with someone who will never reciprocate. But her life changes dramatically when someone invades who knows her better than she does, who, with the ease of a magician, has long drawn Zhenya into an intense game, inevitably destroying her familiar world like a house of cards. * Using the example of the main character and her entourage, a subtle psychological chain of manipulation and hidden subconscious use of each other in relationships is provided.
