I liked the plot okay, but all the characters felt really flat. Especially the women who very much read as written by a man, and lacked nuance or a life outside of interaction with the main character. 
But I loved the performance of the audio book, excellent choices were made by the production crew behind this

This was one of the best books I’ve read of the year.
S. A. Cosby has a way of writing that is mind blowing!
