This book really worked for me until it didn't. And I don't think that's the book's fault. It's my inability to deal with teenage angst. So here is what worked. The narration made the characters super engaging and I was totally invested in the whole story. The podcast within the book was excellent (and I know it was mimicking a real podcast, but audiobook publishers really need to think about how they are alienating those with hearing impairments when they intentionally include bad audio quality for effect). The plots gets more twisty and complicated as the story continues and I was very invested in finding out the answers to all my questions. If you are a YA mystery fan, then this is a book you want to pick up. You will be tuning out your life to pay attention to this and finding out what happened to Zoe Spanos.
