And here I was worried about my personal average rating being too high. I guess I can now thank this one, for being the worst story I can remember ever reading listening. I would have never even gotten past the 25% mark, had it not been a book my older coworker lent me (fully expecting me to enjoy it). I will obviously lie to her but not to you : If you are a woman with even the slightest amount of respect towards your gender : do not read this, you will hate it here. Not only was this written by a man, but the mystery was not even good??? Fuck this book and all those responsible for its high average rating.
