Untying the Knot by Meghan Quinn
emotional

2.5
I usually love Meghan Quinn’s books, but I’ve really struggled with the last couple. I even downloaded the audiobook thinking it would help get through, but it makes it worse hearing their ridiculous crap out loud. Both characters are so immature. I get Myla has past trauma, but my god, it’s not hard to tell your spouse what’s wrong when they ask. I get he should know because she’s tried to talk to him before. She’s frustrated he never listened to her, but when she has his full attention she decides just to be petty and tell him he should know. Honestly listening to Myla waffle the whole book was driving me crazy. She obviously needed therapy and lots of it. There’s a lot of emotional baggage, and a professional is needed to help her work through that.
The only saving grace with the audiobook is how they’re done; the male voice is read by the mail actor, even in the female POV chapters, and vice versa. It’s like an actual conversation. Most the newer Meghan Quinn books I’ve listened to and read have been set up the same way, and I really love that.
