I listened to the audiobook and stopped listening after 20 or so minutes. The narration was horrible. The main character is 24, but the narrator made her sound like a 45-year-old. A 29yo character sounded like an 8yo. And am older woman with a lisp sounded just ridiculous. The narration makes or breaks a book.
Because several people said that the plot surprised them, something difficult to do in a thriller these days, I gave it a second chance. The narration was still horrible, but I got through it. The story indeed took a turn I wasn’t expecting.
If the book had better narration I would have given it 4 stars. If you enjoy thrillers and read the book, it would probably be a better experience than I had listening to it.

Youre right about the age thing! I read the book, not audio, but even still just based on dialogue I kept forgetting she was 24, I am 24 myself and definitely pictured her to be middle aged.
🤣 Your comments are hilarious! I was picturing Melissa McCarthy as Claire and that worked for me. But even though the narrator did sound a bit seasoned, I liked her a lot. I thought she did really well with women's voices.
