Can't Take That Away by Steven Salvatore

• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

3.0

I really had to slog through this book. The story was good enough but the audiobook was an absolute pain to listen to. The editing is horrible, I don't know who Bloomsbury hired to do this but probably an unpaid intern judging by the quality. Between the unedited bits of the narrator messing up lines and repeating them, lines repeated before and after chapter breaks, and the horrible quality of ADR that's interspersed, it's a let down. The story is pretty nice but it's so badly recorded than I can't separate the story and the audiobook itself. You would think Bloomsbury has the money to hire a competent editor but they clearly don't care about queer books enough to do their job. I've never listened to a book with errors like this (if at all).
