I received an ARC of the audiobook through NetGalley. Thank you for the opportunity to experience this audiobook before its official release!

A full-cast recording with the addition of atmospheric background noise was a really interesting way of turning a graphic novel into an audiobook. I found myself disliking Evan at points. However, I felt exactly the same about Emma in the Austen novel this is based on, so I would say that dislike of Evan is actually a credit to the author for their ability to hold true to the source materials while adding an interesting spin on the story. It was sometimes hard to keep track of which voice belongs to which character, and with how short the book was and without the aid of illustrations, some of the smaller characters felt left behind by the production. I think I would have preferred to read the physical graphic novel more, but this was an enjoyable listen!
