I went into this book not knowing anything about it and, from the cover, I thought it would be light and fluffy. Well, I was very wrong. 😆
I still really enjoyed it but there were certain aspects that I found jarring. I have very little patience for over the top precocious children in fiction and we get that here. The hyper intelligent dog was also eye roll inducing.
Having said that, it was a great listen, the cast of secondary characters is brilliant and I very much recommend it on audio. 👍
