Ok so I've never read Picture of Dorian Gray, so I can't speak to the similarities or differences between this book and the source material. What I can say is that this book was a really fun time and it very much had my interest the whole time I read it. I listened to the audiobook and I loved Bailey Carr, the narrator, and I'd happily listen to more audiobooks from her. I think she did a really great job of expressing the emotions that came from the writing.
