It was odd. It started off meh, then got a lot better and ended well. These are two unlikeable people whose marriage you are most definitely NOT rooting for, and yet, I kept reading. It's def a commentary on modern marriages and destructive, toxic people.

Did not finish. Annoying characters badly written.

This is 2 and a half hours of a very average, boring couple fighting. There is nothing interesting about them or the fight. The woman is continually described as beautiful, like that's some sort of a virtue. She's in marketing, he's is advertising, they no longer like each other very much.
If you are on the fence about having children, listening to this might help you decide. If you are a like to listen to privileged middle class capitalists bicker, this might be the book for you. I DNFd it with less than an hour to go because I did not care what happened to these boring, whiney, tedious people. The book was free, but no-one can give me that hour and a half of my life back.

Honestly, this was so boring. The character just went into a spiral of non-communication and payback. Ugh, I was infuriating to listen to.

This should have been called "why narcissists shouldn't breed".

Holly and Cam are horrible people, and there was nothing to like about this short. I only kept listening to see if things got better. They had to get better, right?

Wrong. So, so wrong!

Kudos to Stephen Curry for his narration, the one good thing I have to say.

I am just glad that this was a freebie and didn't spend my hard earned on it - and I NEVER say that

I decided to give this a listen because 1. it was free on Audible 2. I generally enjoy Zoe Foster Blake and 3. It is a really short story.

I did not like this at all... The level of anxiety that this kept me from start to finish was not enjoyable. Since the story is so short, we are basically in the middle of their fight for 99% of the time with no respite.

I am not against the topics or exploring relationships and what caused their fight, I am just against it being so short because it missed out on having some "down" time in between the raised tension and conflict.

Not for me.
