I finished up another audiobook today! 🎧 It was good, I liked the narrator, and the storyline was interesting enough. 🤔  I don't know that it's one I'd listen to again, though. 🤷‍♀️ 

The narrator was a female, and she was able to use different inflections for different characters, so it was easier to discern who was talking. Her reading style did bring the story to life for me a bit, especially when I was driving in the car and I could fully pay attention. The pace was medium, I would say, and if I was reading it in a book, I think it would be a slow read for me. There were times that the narration did seem to drag on a bit, but overall, it was nice to listen to while driving. There were definitely times that I had to go back and replay it because I was focusing on something else and missed the premise of that paragraph. But it was easy to understand and it flowed well.

Anyone else read it and feel the same?  Let me know! 👇 #bookstagram #audiobooks #alwaysreading #TheGardenersPlot #NetGalley
