Male voices of the audiobook weren’t great and the third person narrative was strange since the story was all from Abigail’s point of view. Pretty predictable storyline but relatively fast paced, would recommend reading in one go. Overall felt like an unfinished first draft, lots of potential but nothing was fully connected  and fleshed out.

I love Swanson’s writing, but the pacing of the book was a bit weird.
I found it hard to get into and keep interested. 
I liked the ideas.
