okay i’m only at the halfway point, but i’m struggling to get through. the prose is clunky, characters are pretty flat, but most of all—the audiobook reading is horrible. i applaud the author for giving it her best shot, but any voice other than the narrator’s is cartoony and goofy, even when talking about super heavy topics.
