If I was just rating the production of the audiobook, it would be a solid 5 stars. The voice actors and producers did a phenomenal job and I think it’s this novel’s saving grace. The story on its own is not that good. Most of the characters (with the exception of Grandma Beverly who is 10/10 fantastic) are insufferable and there aren’t really any twists besides literally everyone hooking up with everyone else. Affairs as a “twist” in a book is just sloppy writing to me. It’s not interesting and it was honestly just so annoying how that kept popping up. I feel this should have spent longer in the editing stage before it was released.
