Many thanks to @htp_hive and @htpbooks for a copy of this audiobook, all opinions are my own. 

The premise of this book was so interesting. I loved how much neuroscience was incorporated and found those bits to really separate this book from others. The details on the experiments as well as the extras included (the reflection journal & chapters of the memoir) were a great way to break the story up. The narrator was incredible, she was super engaging and I thought she suited Anna's personality well. While there were many parts that I enjoyed, I found the book to be quite predictable. I had anticipated many of the twists and I wished Anna had been more of an unreliable narrator. There was one bit that genuinely surprised me and I wanted more of that from this book. The set-up was there but the execution fell a bit short. I would definitely read more from this author.
