Unfortunately, this book didn’t capture my attention and I wound up DNF’ing it around the 10% mark. It wasn’t anything in particular, but neither did the current day nor the past settings entice me, and I simply wasn’t invested in the relationship between the main character and the “top” mean girl, and found them both to be unrealistic and annoying - both as children and adults.

I did think the narrator did well creating the atmosphere in this book and adding emotion into the text, but I found the text to be so uncomfortable and awkward that I couldn’t continue to listen.

Thank you to Netgalley and Brilliance Publishing for providing me a copy for review.
