I'm the Girl by Courtney Summers
3.0
Story/plot: 3/5
Narrator: 4/5
Ending: 4/5
My thoughts: I enjoyed the narrator for the most part. She was good at fake crying and making consistent voices for multiple different people, male and female. Normally I don’t enjoy that but this narrator executed well. Her Cleo voice actually sounds a lot like Blake Lively.
As someone who lives on crime and thrillers, I wouldn’t say this would be considered a thriller. It definitely has a heinous crime as a main theme (TW: murder, sex assault), but it’s more of a mild crime suspense novel with LQBTQ romance and young adult themes. The story was average and just did not have me hooked. But I definitely wasn’t expecting the ending. I believe the description was a little misleading compared to the actual plot.
Thank you to NetGalley, Macmillan Audio, and Courtney for an advance listener’s copy in exchange for an honest review!
