The Writing Retreat was a a quick and dark read that explores feminism, human complexity, and motive. It captivated me pretty quickly and the narrarator did GREAT voice work here. It felt about 2 hours too long and there was a bit of disconnect brought by surface level relationships, but I would still recommend it.
