I prefer coffee but...

Revisado: 06-12-24

I did not expect to fall in love with this story, but only a couple chapters in I was caught up. the performance is good, there's usually a good amount of difference between the two voices of the characters. the characters feel pretty flushed out and realistic, and the book kept up at a good pace!

Cute book!

Revisado: 05-31-24

This book feels very similar to Voskuni's first book, "sorry bro". The story arch is similar, and with the same wonderful narration, it felt fimilar from the start. If you liked the other book, you'll probably like this one too!
I gave it a 4 out of 5 because it just didn't quite grip my attention and heart. The downfall was more sudden and didn't completely feel right, and the recovery not super forfilling. It was a good book though and I enjoyed it.

I've listened to it several times and is so good!

Revisado: 01-16-24

In the beginning I was worried it was going to be a bit heavyhanded, but it turned out really good! I could empthise with both of the sides of the conflict and fell in love with the characters. It is also funny! The characters and the story is sweet and fun.
My criticisms are that some times with the narrator I wasn't sure who was saying what, but after a while I caught an ear for how the 2 main characters are performed differently. Secondly, sometimes it was a bit to keep track of the timeline of the story, how much time had passed. Also sometimes it was a bit unrealistic, but it's a fun story and was nothing that took me out of it too much!
I definitely recomend the book and the author! I can't believe it isn't more popular! It's one of my favorite books I've read in a while, especially in the genre!

cute story

Revisado: 12-05-23

quite a nice experience overall. the story was good (even though a bit predictable) and was enjoyable! the narrator was great for most of it when it was just characters internal thoughts or sean descriptions. the narrator didn't do as well with dialogues between characters. it seemed to me the two main characters voices change, and it was hard to keep track of. the voices for the male characters were... a bit distracting. some of them were ok, but some just sounded really forced and were a bit distracting from the story.
even though the narration could have improvements, it was still a fun listen and I would recommend!

So So Good!

Revisado: 11-08-23

such a good story! it got so much done is so little time. I wish I could just have stayed w the characters forever.
narrator was good! present to listen to, not distracting.
my one (small) gripe was that I noticed some repeat wording. the phrase "a few mins later" was used often enough that I noticed and distracted me a bit.
But again, such a good book! super excited for the next one!

missing 3 chapters!

Revisado: 10-13-22

I'm a big fan of Rick Riordan, I have no problems with the plot or story at all. I loved Jesse burnstines (I don't know quite how to spell it) narration of the original Percy Jackson books, but I'm not a huge fan of these narrators. particularly Rainy Fields, it just wasn't done very well, it didn't feel like the right choice.
The worst thing of all this, is that this audiobook is just flat out missing 3 chapters! I didn't know it till 80% of the way though the book that the chapters were missing, or I wouldn't haven't bothered listening in the first place!
I'm returning this book as soon as I figure out how to! I'm so bummed and annoyed!

I accidentally listened to this all in one day. performance was great, and the story is something that hasn't made me think or feel like this in quite a while.

brilliant

a brilliant telling of a unintelligent family. an amazing book that feels like it can't be real.
