I went into this book with high hopes. The premises sounded really promising: the murder of a woman who can feel no pain. But sadly, the book was anything but interesting. I kept waiting for something to happen, but it never did until the final ten percent of the book. 

For most of the story, I spent hating the men in Anna's life. Her older brother Tony is a complete narcissist and her employer Nate seems to be nursing a raging temper. I couldn't understand why she kept letting both of these men treat her like complete shit. Then I realized she wasn't the least bit likable herself. Everything about her was just as fake as with the men. 

The story's twist wasn't shocking you could see it coming from a mile away. I ended up feeling bored and uninvested in anything going on. Overall I feel like You Can't Hurt Me struggled with a pacing problem. I know other people might enjoy this story but it just wasn't for me. 

That said I did enjoy the narrator for this story and would listen to other books by them. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Audio for this ALC.
