This helped keep me listening to a book even during a stressful week, so I'd say it was engaging. Some of it felt predictable but the writing and characters kept me interested to see how the (predictable) twist would unfold.
I'm just not a fan of the "I'm drunk/on meds so I can't even trust myself!" device. I wish that hadn't been a part of this one.
