This title uses virtual voice narration

Virtual voice is computer-generated narration for audiobooks.
Her body is thawing, and the smell of death is oozing from her. I want to be sick, but I say nothing. I watch like I was told. Good girls, listen. I want to rub my legs clean; I want a shower. Startled when my mom announced she was done. I finally see. Even though I was watching, I did not truly see. I say nothing. I sit and watch. Wishing for heaven too.
Survival is all I can think of, I must do as they say, or I will be next. I am trying to be strong but failing many times. Will I leave the summer alive? will I get to start 8th Grade? I was finally able to tell on my parents. Now I am traveling in the foster care system. I await trial. I am scared, but I will testify against them. For Alexia’s memory. She deserves at least that much from me, as I failed her in many ways. Now I spend the next few years navigating life with no family.
Will I become a happy, successful adult, or will I end up a failure and worthless like my mother always said I would…

The book is excellent but the computer reader is terrible, still worth pressing ahead until the end for the story

Deserves a real person to read this excellent book

This story is very graphic and disturbing. I appreciate her telling her story and sharing her life with us. I will say I did not like the narration. It sounded very elementary and was hard for me to stay engaged. Sounds like it was story time at an elementary school. Overall the events that took place kept my attention of wanting to know what happened.

Very detailed and truthful

The storyline was good, this poor girl endured horrific abuse. however they used virtual voice for this one and if you can get past the very monotone sounding voice is a good story.

the storyline was good but.

I would have loved to hear the author read her own story, or even a narrator, but the auto-generated narration made it feel like it was reading bullet point facts. The author deserves her story to be read with a human voice, with emotion, with inflection, with life behind it. I would have given a 5 star review except the narration was lifeless. Audible, do better by your authors!

Story is worth a listen, AI generated audio was emotionless.

I was not a fan of the narration by AI. Emphasis was often put in the wrong place. The story however was good.

Great story.

First of all this AI narration is terrible. It's so monotone and has no feelings in the reading at all. This book shows the power and hard work it takes to make generational changes in our lives. It shows how flawed the system is and once in the system how it follows you. How change is possible only through hard work and perseverance. It shows how life throws curve balls at us just when we think we have it all together but you just have to keep going and make the best decisions for you and your family. None of which is easy. Definitely recommend but I will say this is not an easy read. The abuse and murder of children is very graphic in the beginning.

Heartbreaking and hopeful

I could not listen to the fake voice after 30 minutes. The story was hard enough emotionally to listen to without the robot narration.

While I enjoyed the overall book the writing style and the narration made it almost seem like bullet points. I have no doubt that an actual narrator would have brought the story to life, but it is still an empowering story.

Proud she persevered!

This was a well-written story. It is tragic and shocking to hear of the evil that was her mother. Poor Lexi. Happy Jessica had a happier ending and was willing to share her story with us. Rooting for you, Jessica!

Gripping and heartbreaking but redeeming
