I listened to this book to get back into audiobooks during college. It seemed to fit the kind of journey I was looking for. Mysterious, dark, salt-of-the-earth characters. A sudden plot twist halfway through. The relationship between Henry and Madi was hard to listen to sometimes because of the dynamic they fell into although that was clearly by design. Sometimes I wished that the ending was a little slower paced. That there was more to the story and more to some of the characters before they were written out. It's definitely a quick read though if that's something you're looking for. All in all not a bad start to my rediscovery of books.
