The early timeline I was into, I was invested. And then it all imploded with the second timeline. I’ve never been so eager to see characters earn their redemption only to never do anything to actually earn it. The MMC is the most infuriatingly selfish character I’ve read in a long time.
His wife’s dad dies and his first thought is…he’s upset she isn’t putting out while she’s GRIEVING?!?!? Literally never had more ick
that and the FMC is a complete doormat. At the beginning you think she gained confidence and is control after 4 years but noooooo she literally goes BACKWARDS. I kept listening because the narrators were fab though. But wow there was so much possibility here and completely squandered by the worst main characters.
