Reread and still love the book! The audio was well done, but some of the accents were odd choices and not my favorite. But would still recommend audio

3.5

Interesting concept, but a little too out there and unrealistic for me. The polyamory felt forced and not authentic (but there was some growth on that at the end that I liked). This also takes place at the height of COVID in 2020 and there are a LOT of covid references and phrases and stuff and that got old pretty quick. If you don’t want to read a book set in the pandemic definitely skip this one
