Friends, this book was a complete mess. It wasn’t awful, but I wouldn’t recommend it beyond a one-time “oh, you’re looking for something somewhat silly and nonsensical” recommendation. The main character’s erratic behavior makes sense given her past experiences, but it just comes across as amusing/frustrating depending on the situation. Despite this, I managed to finish the entire book.

I also find it challenging to write reviews, so I’m unsure how to criticize someone who writes entire books. 😂

The narrator was excellent, but the story itself was a bit too much and too little for my taste.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advance audiobook copy. All opinions expressed are my own.
