2.5 because I finished it. I listened to it on the Libby app and there was way too much shoehorned in.

 Odd to have so much time dedicated to characters we didn’t really know or need to know anything about. 

I think it would have been more appropriate to focus on the main relationship of the story because that was something that should be explored fully and it some how subtracted from that will lots of other ‘bits’ that may have been used to round out the story but fell flat for me unfortunately. 

Great narrator though.
