Based on all the high-rating reviews, I was excited to read this and thought the premise sounded great. I ended up DNF'ing around 65% because it was just soooooo slow and I did not care one bit. I also was missing on the dual-POV narrators of two women (was this a pitball of listening to some of it on audiobook and some reading on kindle, or was this the author's mistake?) and really thought it was all coming from one POV/voice. This just wasn't exciting in the least and I was proud that I even pushed through to 65%. I'm not sure what excited these 5-star readers so much...
