No, not really. She knew what she was doing going into it, but I do believe she let her identity get sucked up in his.

I don't feel bad for her, other than Dev was kind of leading her on when she should be spending time meeting someone on her own rather than

focusing on sneaking around with a married man.

I don't know if the author wanted us to sympathize with her or not, but I did. The story takes place over several weeks, but in that time

she only talks to her co-worker and Dev. What a lonely woman she must be! And though I don't approve of the affair, she broke it off once

confronted with the gravity of her actions, which I think redeems her a bit.
