This was a perfect book to listen to while on a long drive, because it never dragged and there were no boring points. The perspectives switched at the perfect times and it really made my drive fly by. It also meant I was completely unprepared for the reveal at the halfway point. Completely flabbergasted, I tell you. And it seriously elevated my enjoyment.

And, while I had fun listening to this and was glad that I did, for it to really resonate with me I think I just prefer more nuance from a story. It was a Good For Her revenge story and not much else. Which is fine and fun! But that's what held it back from a higher rating.
