This is a quality book but it didn’t exactly draw me in. The characters aren’t exactly likable, but that’s the point. As an audiobook, it was originally a little difficult to figure out what era of their lives we were jumping to, but it didn’t end up being a problem as I got more familiar with the plot and characters. I ended up enjoying it more than I expected at the beginning.
