Listenable, but not particularly enjoyable or relatable. I didn't care for any of the characters. Writing is fine but I wasn't a fan. Plot felt forced. I was super interested for the first half, which kept promising action, but then so little would actually happen! The second half made me drowsy. There was this thing veneer of magic on the outskirts, but it didn't really pull into the story, and overall felt a bit lackluster.
Graphic: Child death and Rape
Moderate: Grief, Medical trauma, and Stalking
Minor: Car accident
