It's rare when I can't find anything to appreciate in a story. This book was repetitive to the point of infuriating. A slew of on the nose moments, pacing isssues, and a plot hole that should have been fixed during the planning stage. To top it off, I didn't like one character in the book.
I listened to the audiobook and the narrator's performance was excellent, but it couldn't make up for the poor writing.
