And, oh with the vulgar gestures.

also, dear narratior: cache is not pronounced cash-ay; it's just cash.

I enjoy Carolyn Brown's other work. This was insanely bad. There were no characters, just caricatures.

The plot was so thin as to be nonexistent. the biggest plot point seems to be cheerleading tryouts and whether the girls need to put out to make the squad. Yes, really.

Bizarrely unlikely things happen (a bare acquaintance of one of the 'caricatures' calls to talk about her failed marriage) for no reason. Teens raised in what's described to be a virtual religious cult are swear and dish out relationship advice, and also kind of find the cult appealing...

There is kind of an insta-romance with a couple of soldiers with ptsd feel feelings toward each other from a distance and worry about it.

Also most of the caricatures, except the ex-soldiers, are "put on payroll" at a bar/grill by the soldiers, and some quit otherwise well-paying jobs (teacher, accountant) to wait tables or cook and nobody is remotely worried about money.

It's not up to even the more weak of CB's previous books. I question whether she wrote it or let one of her great grandkids have a go as a middleschool project.

There wasn't enough buulding of an actual relationship connection in this installment. I just didn't buy they were fated mates, or very good ones at any rate. But all the other IAD elements were there in spades.

The main character is a psycho, who had no moral or professional compas. She kept doing absurd things, stumbling into coincidence after coincidence, breaking law after law, and halfway thru I was rooting for her to be the next victim. It's awful.

The factual, academic stuff on the Brontes is great. Less great is the Cathy-as-gender-fluid because she says "I AM Heathcliff" and Heathcliff is black, and Bertha is black, all the books being about slavery...

But it went entirely off the rails for me when it started confusing the lines between the Bronte's work and what's essentially fan fiction (Wide Sargasso Sea, etc).

Minor gripe was the authors dramatic reading style which was cringily over the top.

Love Great Courses, but this is a skip.

It just wasn't very interesting despite quite nice performances. Not 10 minutes after listening, it's essentially forgotten.

MMC narration is unbearably unappealing

I like the story and the FMC but the way the narrator voices the MMC makes him sound goofy, caricaturish, slapstick-y, Dick-Van -Dyke-in-Mary-Poppins and so romantically unappealing that it completely yanks you from the story. I recommend reading over listening so you can imagine a hero someone would pine over.

These guys that narrate Bill.and Eric are...I can't think of a word that might adequately describe how terrible they are. The (loooong) timeline-setting explanations of events surrounding the stories are just weird. It's like listening to a laborious recap of a TV show you missed.

Just read the books and short stories and skip this.

The heroine keeps saying "I have to be careful" and then proceeds not to be careful. Like every 3-5 minutes. ugh.

A number of the elements of the story were fine. the narrator was very slow and...not ideal. He doesn't differentiate characters enough and gives a disinterested feel.

While it's not terribly old, it felt so, sometimes cringeworthily. And speaking of cringe...the scene sort of juxtaposing oral sex with oysters and primordial ooze was incredibly awkward and weirdly juvenile.

I had been looking for a new series I could get into. In spite of some good elements, this won't be it.
