bree_h_reads's review against another edition

While I think the author is very skilled in the narration, I just can’t get into the story. Furthermore, knowing that Jude and Carden are supposed to have a romance is more of a turn off. This just isn’t a book for me, and that’s okay, but I can’t really say I can get behind a book that sets up the love interest as a walking piece of shit.

I did however really enjoy the narrator’s performance.
