Clever writing and unusual POV

It isn't offer that a novel's narrator is, unusually, a villain -- one whose acerbic wit and maudlin romantic fantasies, love for her cat, and occasional victimization at the hands of people more twisted than she is, make her just sympathetic enough.
Wonderful, crisp narrative and a fabulous actor performing the novel.
The ending is quite satisfying.

Good story

My only issue is the narrator. So often she mispronounced words and paused in sentences in the wrong place. Frustrating to listen to

apart from mispronunciations, excellent!

I really like the story and POV in this novel, and the narrator's performance is really fun to listen to.

My only criticism is there are quite a few words that are consistently mispronounced. That happening became a point of frustration because it pulled me out of the story for a moment each time.

Layered story with great narration

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Well developed characters and a few good twists. The narrator captured the characters and was a pleasure to listen to!

Strange story of strange people

I don't know what was weirder, the story or the people in it. I just had a tough time believing any of it. Struggled to pay attention to a rather dull story that just wasn't believable. It tried to have some surprises or twists, but I just didn't care. Nothing special about this book.

Little boring and monotonous but ok

The main character is hard to warm up to so it makes it harder for me to be invested in the story. It was ok, I had a long drive and it was free.
