I was provided an Audiobook ARC in exchange for an honest review - thank-you to the author, publisher, and netgalley!
I really really wanted to like this book, but I didn't. I tried on numerous occasions to listen and take in the story, but I found it incredibly difficult and confusing to listen to and even almost DNF'd it. I think this is down to a combination of the writing style, the subject matter being quite emotional and upsetting, and myself not being in the right headspace for reading/listening to a story of this kind.
