The Details:
Narrated by Polly Lee
Unabridged
Even though I only read the last book (both really - in quick succession), last month, I found that there were minute details I had already forgotten.
Despite this (and the fact that I wasn't properly listening to it all the time - thank you migraine...) I found it to be an entertaining read. I wouldn't necessarily say I enjoyed it... I went into this one knowing I would probably feel unsatisfied by the conclusion and I did, but not really in the way I had expected.
I much more enjoyed how the transition of the timelines blended together. I think it made more sense in the conclusion and seemed a bit more seamless.
I feel like Kelsea got back to herself... Not necessarily her old self - too much of life had been experienced for that - but definitelya self I was my aligned with.
I didn't like the ending. I felt like it was a bit of a cop out and although a unique conclusion than anything I would have thought of, it was one that was unsatisfied and left me with the question of this: what about everyone else?!
The narrator (on normal speed) sounds like a she's documenting a wildlife film, which was, at best amusing, at worse kind of annoying. I sped it up to 3x pretty sharpish.
