The Good House by Ann Leary
2.0
Disliked the narration-one star off for that. I feel like the narrator's choice of intonation and emotion was just too much when it came to the main character (Hildy). If I had read the book or if there was a different narration, I might have been sympathetic to her and her struggle with alcohol. Instead, she came across as completely unlikeable, and I found myself repeating some of the text with different intonations and interpreting the words differently.
The plot had a few holes and seemed to go all over the place. The author tried to tie it all together at the end, but it just didn't work for me.
I did love that the book took place in a coastal New England town. Many of the characters were very relatable.
I also have to say that I have yet to listen to an audiobook where the narrator does a good job with a young child's voice. This book is no excpetion. So awful.
