Let’s start with my main issue with this book:
THE AUDIOBOOK. 
I’m not saying it’s bad - it isn’t. The narrator is great, their story is solid but the audiobook is just one long chapter. What? This is written as diary entries which allows for many breaks or “chapters” and we don’t get that. This is a pet peeve of mine and it did affect the enjoyability of this book for me.
