I received a copy of the audio arc from the publisher through Netgalley, all opinions are my own.
When Teddy's father commits suicide, years after her sister's disappearance, Teddy falls down an internet and life rabbit hole.
Well, Teddie was very unlikable, I know she was in a pit of grief, but having no reference for her, other than that she was supposedly a likable, and good teacher before this, she seems extremely self-centered and selfish, as well as a horrible teacher who hates children.
She treats her boyfriend like crap, and I'm not sure why he stays with her other than maybe pity, but then why would he want to move things forward, unless he has a hero complex.
The whole storyline around Wolfie just shows how cruel Teddy and her mother acted toward his end of life. I get that they had sort of trauma bonded to him, but if they'd thought about how much he was suffering they should have put him out of his misery as Bill suggested. And the scene in the woods broke my heart.
I was not too fond of the ending because we didn't get a real answer about what happened to her sister. And her declaration at the end! Ugh! She shouldn't be doing that when she just supposedly got out of her spiral of grief and from a long period of self-destruction.
I didn't realize how little I was enjoying the book until I was at 61% and since it was for review I finished it or I would have DNF'd it around 30%.
Narrator Rating: 3 stars
The narrator was okay, though her voice got a bit grating at times, it worked for Teddy.
