I enjoyed this, but not as much as i expected to, perhaps my hopes were too high.
I loved the developing relationship of Aldo and Reagan - that was by far the best part of the whole book, but I lost interest a little after that. It did get more interesting when witnessing Reagan's spiralling, but it was so disjointed, (likely intentionally to show how messy her head was) that it likely didn’t translate entirely onto audiobook, perhaps its a little easier to follow when reading by eye. To this point I didn’t quite follow the ending but I think I got the gist. I liked what was clear a lot.
