I think I might have liked this book more if I had read a physical version. Not that the audiobook was poorly narrated, I just think I would have enjoyed seeing the writing written down.
I fell in love with the Dunbar boys, but certain parts of the story didn't sit right with me, and I didn't love the order in which the story was told.

This one is a slow-starter, but it's worth it if you stick with it! I was confused for the first 100-150 pages, but then it all started to come together and fall into place, which makes for a really rewarding reading experience.
