To be completely fair to this book, I did audiobook only and I found myself spacing out and missing lots of critical information throughout. However, besides my own wandering mind, I was spacing out so much in part due to some confusion and overall lack of interest as well. I thought the narrator did a great job at bringing the characters to life and keeping with the oft humorous tone the author wrote them with, but unfortunately that just wasn’t enough for me to ever really get invested.
Someday I will come back and read this and see if that helps me get into the story more and follow along with everything going on better, but for now this was just okay for me and something I was ready to move on from halfway through.

To everyone who told me to read this: I am running at you on all fours. I am barreling you through a window and into the murky depths. Gideon Nav, the lesbian that you are.
