I think I might just read the next book in this series in ebook format. I liked the story premise and Jae pulled it off superbly. The story is good enough to make this a worthwhile read for me even with this narrator reading it. That said, the author's writing is excellent as is the case with most of her work. There were a couple major scenes that had their tone significantly undermined by the narrator's performance, with odd speaking rhythm, misplaced emphasis, and out-of-place tones of voice that changed the dynamic between the characters in the scene in a way I'm sure the author didn't intend. And sadly, the narration stays that way for the entire book, and from the few other titles I've listened to that were voiced by this narrator, this narration style is her standard performance. Or like she's forcing herself to give a warm greeting to a relative she'd rather not have over for the holidays but her partner couldn't stand to not invite them. Reviewed in the United States on Reviewed in the. Or like she's reading a phone script in a call center with a big fake smile plastered on her face because 'the callers can hear it in your voice'. The book was long, giving the author time to fully develop the plot and characters.
The narrator sounds like she's reading affirmations in the mirror and is having trouble convincing herself.
