While the story is intriguing, I honestly don’t think I have ever listened to a book that has been more painful to listen to. The intonation, and speech patterns were just not normal by the female narrator. I’m honestly not sure why this author selected this narrator to represent her book. The male narrator was not as bad, but still not great. It was very difficult to create a mental image of either character based on how they spoke. I have only listened to narrated books in the last several years and have never come across some thing this difficult to listen to.
