Thank you to NetGalley for providing an advanced reader's copy in exchange for a fair and honest review. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Neil Shah and Sharon Freedman (which is not a listed version on goodreads).
This was my introduction to Neil Shah and Sharon Freedman. Both narrators had a varied vocal range that included being able to sustain accents. I was immediately dropped into the story.
This was a slow meandering story made up of three separate stories that, by an odd chance of fate, all intertwine. In conversations between an abused wife and a recently divorced man told as a story in the third person, we learn about the wife's deteriorating marriage and her husband's mental state. Mor's mental state was not all that great either. Then there's story of the senior doctor and the resident which was far more poignant. Flipping from the present to the senior doctor's college years, we're given glimpses into his life. Still bound by grief, the senior doctor advocates for patience and trusts that the resident will do the right thing. As for the story of the married couple, this is a dismal portrayal of a long-term relationship and how parents relate to their children.
So, after listening to this story(ies), I feel lost and have a moment of WTF? Overall, it was disjointed and overly romanticised with zero conclusion.
