I don't like the way he writes about the female characters, and if you can get over the unrealistic progression of the plot, it's a pretty good story. Two minor things from the first scene that drove me crazy: Costco doesn't have bags, misuse of the term "baby mama". Can recommend audiobook. Great narrator.jonssweater's review against another edition

I very rarely post spoilers even if it’s a TW, but there was a scene in here that is making me break that rule: there is couple pages in the book that involve killing a child that has a developmental disability. It is very graphic and leading up to the death it’s rife with ableist abuse
