it's a good book. however the narrative leaves something to be desired. Her voice over of the men and some of the female characters were one note. She could have done a better job of voice interpretation.

This is a good book not too heavy not too light. Just a full story. Some ridiculous characters, but this is make believe. There was a reveal I kinda seen coming .. however once it was let out the bag I couldn't stop laughing.

I laughed out loud
