The Weekend Away by Sarah Alderson
2.75
Narration: 5 stars. Helen Keeley did a fantastic job. So many accents and characters with each one quite distinguished. Very impressed.
Unfortunately, good narration wasn’t quite enough to save this ship wreck. Like seriously. The MC was so dumb. Made the dumbest decisions over and over and over—to the very end. And like, can we really not have a character who has had a baby and not talk about her body/body issues. Can’t women just exist in their bodies without comment?!?
That twisty ending was annoying and not jaw dropping either.
That said, there were a few intense moments where I was quite invested. Konstandin was also the standout best character. And again, the narration is top notch. So I’m giving 2.75 stars. For me that’s a just to the negative side of neutral.
