I listened to the audiobook version of this text and really enjoyed it–mostly, because Josh Dylan was narrating Dylan's chapters.
The plot and characters were very well-written (and cast well in the audiobook) and I think the whole story worked very well as audio due to the roadtrip plot. The text dealt with various issues and themes in a good, and informative, way and with various perspectives.
Overall, I enjoyed the experience of listening to this book and would recommend. It's a typical O'Leary text (emotional, sexy, tense, mysterious) but, I do have to admit that it fell a bit short after reading 'The Flatshare' as I didn't love Addie and Dylan as much as I loved Leon and Tiffy.
