A Book of Almosts

This book was almost entertaining. It almost had some action, it almost had interesting characters. Sadly it never quite got to its full potential. I kept waiting for something to happen, but it never did. There were hints of a deeper story that would come in the next few pages, perhaps the next chapter? But no. Nothing of consequence ever materialized. The narrator was very good, and probably the reason I stuck with it. It's not a bad book, it's not a good book. It's just kind of...there.

Terrible main character

The main character was a a victim in her own head. Listening to her cry and moan for eight hours just about did me in. It was recommended based on other books I love and I might just end my Audible subscription over
