I'm annoyed with myself that I didn't see the ending coming. It's pretty
predictable, in hindsight.

But I didn't, and I enjoyed every second of this read. It was well written
(not a single grammatical or structural error in the whole thing!) and the
characters were quite believable.

The plot features an aspiring young lawyer being asked by her boss to sleep
with his wife for a large sum of money. She decides to do it, and we're off
into a well-done (if somewhat formulaic) plot. However, the ending was a bit
of a turnoff, so it doesn't get full points.

Give "Illusion" a read. You won't be sorry.

Athena (technical quality): 10
Venus (plot and character): 10
