I know I’m in the minority here, but I didn’t enjoy this book. It follows one insecure, mean, and superficial (but business-savvy) woman who doesn’t want a relationship—yet secretly pines for her college roommate, who is equally insecure.
Why did I keep reading? Honestly, I thought that with so many glowing reviews, it had to get better at some point in the 16+ hours of the audiobook. Spoiler: it didn’t.
The audiobook narration didn’t help either. The vocal fry, elongated vowels, and fake deep voice were distracting and not for me.
The story is filled with flashbacks and focuses on a dynamic that just didn’t resonate with me. It’s not the kind of relationship I want to root for or witness.
