Rating: 3/5 for story. 4/5 for narration
I'll rate it separately for the narration and the story line:
Narration:
4/5 I liked how Ms. Ariela Crow narrated it. Especially her emotions for the MFC were well spoke. Her narration for the MMC was muffled and gruff, and sounded fake (just being honest).
Story:
This had the potential to be a great story. Unfortunately, it turned out to be the biggest "Not like other girls" and 'not like other men' energy fest. It was so jarring, too. I was rooting for the MFC to be tough, but she would just lose her mind when the MMC showed up. For his part, he is shown to be a complete ass in the past, but now he's literally perfect?
Their interaction is also super weird. She hates him - no, she lusts after him, no, she hates him, no- she hates him. The fact that she can't even be honest with herself on this, shows no progress for her. She's way past growth. She has had no therapy, has not addressed her trauma. On the one hand, she literally blames her brothers and sisters for isolating her, but then she's super grateful that they were in her life.
I won't comment on how much the book focused on gender and sexual preferences.
