dapperreads 's review for:

One for My Enemy by Olivie Blake
4.0

I actually enjoyed the story. What I didn’t enjoy is the format. It’s a play. That’s fine, I wasn’t prepared for that going in, but that’s my fault - I’m sure it’s widely known I just can’t say I looked. 

The play format on audio really took away from the magic of the story. Hearing “act x scene x” was very distracting and I found myself losing the magic of the previous moment, only to gain it back just in time to lose it again. I can usually block out chapters, but the act and scene was too much for me to block out I guess. 

While the narrator was great, due to what I’ve said above, I wouldn’t recommend the audio. I’d get a different format. I think that would be a better way to enjoy this story. It is quite good, and I recommend the story but maybe not on audio. 

Thanks to NetGalley for the audiobook!
