But it was definitely not intolerable and she brought the story to life instead of taking anything away from it. She’s not the best I ever heard and I didn’t love the sound of her voice. It’s definitely not the most beautifully and artistically written, but it’s far from juvenile. That is, if you can appreciate a book for what it is and not what it isn’t in comparison to some other book. Unless you’re super picky and expect every single book you read to be written by God himself, then I cannot see any reason why you would not enjoy this book. It was a waste of a credit and disappointing. But over all, I would not recommend this book. The one positive in this was that the narrator did a great job. It wouldn’t have been so bad if it was used to emphasize or foreshadow something really important, but to use it for EVERY description was both infuriating and incredibly boring to hear over and over again. Constantly saying things looked, tasted, and smelled like happiness, love, sadness, and hope. And I feel bad saying it, but the way the author described things was nauseatingly cheesy. There was little to no character growth, and Evangeline spent at least half the book no where near Jax, so their relationship was practically non-existent until the last third of the book, and even then not much growth happened. The premise of the book sounded so intriguing, but throughout this entire book it felt like the author had no idea of where she was taking the story. I had to force myself to finish this book because deep down I kept hoping it would get better, but it never did.
