Momma Says: 3 stars⭐⭐⭐
This was a hard book to get through, at least for me. It's a little bit out there and stretches my ability to suspend disbelief. I realize it's fiction, but even fiction should have some limits, especially when it's contemporary. But that didn't make me hit the pause button. I may have rolled my eyes a few times, but I kept listening. What made me walk away for a while was the pacing. It's considerably long, and when a book is that long, the pace needs to be at least steady. Instead, there were some serious lag times in this book. I feel like I paused this listen a lot more than I usually do - audiobooks typically accompany me when I'm running errands, doing chores, or even just going for a nice walk, so I like, at the very least, a steady pace. I do like the premise, and I feel like it could be really good with a bit of tweaking here and there - or maybe that's trimming. There's just a bit too much going on, in my opinion. Speaking of, it's important to remember this is just one person's opinion, so if this one grabs your attention, please go with your own instincts and give it a go.
This is the audiobook, and the narration is quite good. I love listening to Shane East, who could make reading the telephone book sound good. I feel like I should be familiar with Rose Dioro, but I can't put my finger on it. I did enjoy her performance, and I would easily listen to both narrators again,
