Did not finish book. Stopped at 21%.

This is my second attempt at this book. Sometimes when I am struggling with reading with my eyes, reading with my ears is the way to go, but this book just keeps losing me.
It is probably due to being a very talky book... so much conversation and unfortunately the narrater, as lovely as their voice is, is not giving each character enough separation is the way they sound to my ears.

Here's hoping it gets a decent screen adaptation as the concept is great, but the execution for me is the problem
