Not the best audiobook for me, I found that the narration style didn’t really match the tone. Interesting story, would like to revisit it in text instead of audio.

2.0

This  feels like that the only book the author has read was the catcher in the rye, said easy I can do that. And completely missed actually doing that and instead produce a book with no character or plot development. 

The last 10 pages where we got to find more about Julian were the most  interesting thing about this book. Honestly would have preferred a book following him instead
