Did not finish book. Stopped at 53%.
I don't know if this is a case of "right book, wrong time" but I just couldn't get into this. I found most of the characters annoying and their bickering after 10 years of not seeing each other was just giving me a lot of anxiety and boring me simultaneously. After skimming reviews, it seems
I will say I likely would have DNF'd this earlier if not for the audiobook narrators. They really did a great job and I think the audiobook format is the way to go.
I'm sure there's an audience for this but unfortunately it's not me, at least not at this time.
