I experienced this as an audiobook and more often than not, audiobook narrators annoy me with their diction and pacing. It seems like watching a dramatic re-enactment from Unsolved Mysteries or the "before" clip of a tv infomercial....It distracts from the actually good story with mediocrity. Perhaps this is just me. But this narrator really swept me into the story. Her name is Lisa Flanagan. The story was 90% engrossing, but like many books, I was kinda let down at the end. It was a cute little bow ending. You root for the characters and I don't think I could write a better ending, off the cuff, but I feel like it wrapped up like a too-easy hopscotch board. I liked that the female protagonist wasn't hung up on a man and they didn't force a romance the way many books do (Twilight, Hunger Games, ad nauseam). I felt like the story unfolded in an interesting way, with flashbacks being triggered by current moments. Minus one star for a "ok I guess so" ending. I would read more of her books, if there are any.
