I was really hoping to like it more but it kind of fell flat for me. I felt this premise had so much potential for a robust story! There are three POVs with different narrators which I really enjoyed. However, I found the plot to be quite predictable and I was really disappointed with how the author chose to end the story. Right when I finished, my first thought was, "welp, that was average". Overall, I definitely think this was worth listening to. It didn't wow me, but that's okay! It was enjoyable!
