Wow. This is the most dramatic reading I’ve ever listen to. I want to finish it to find out what happens, but the female narrator makes it almost impossible. She reads so dramatically that it ruins the entire thing. I can stand listening to it. It’s hard to describe. The story has a lot of potential. I’m halfway through. If it was just the male narrator, I’d rate it way higher. But it’s so unbelievable and annoying with how she is reading her parts. The story is also super drawn out. Like it goes on and on about the same thing forever, to where you want to fast forward. Also lots of weird stories that are unnecessary. Like the dream about June’s wedding. I also don’t like how the author tries to make it normal how they fell in love over time, while in all reality, he’s so much older than her that it’s actually grooming and super inappropriate. Romanticizing a relationship where a man takes advantage of young girl. It’s 2024 and as a society, we are all aware how wrong and weird this is. I wanted to love this, but I don’t. I have seven hours left and plan on exchanging the book for a different one. I just can’t finish it.
