I had really high hopes for this book.  It started off strong. The story was interesting, and I was fully engaged.  The narrator was lively and entertaining, although the way she voiced the sister grated on my nerves. 

I'm not sure what happened, but at about 40% my interest started to dissipate. By 60%, I found I just didn't care anymore. I trudged through the remainder of the book, but it never truly pulled me back in.  

Thank you NetGalley and RB Media for allowing me early access to the ARC audiobook edition of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
