This is another one of those books that I just cannot imagine reading from an actual book because it worked so well as an audiobook.\u00a0 Although the plot is not\u00a0remotely the same, this audiobook\u00a0reminded me of Thirteen Reasons Why<\/em><\/a> because it had one narrator for the main character and another narrator for a person who left behind a recording. \u00a0I’m not sure what this says about me, but I really enjoy “listening in” on these recordings and the reactions they invoke from the main character! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
