Worse Guy by Ruby Dixon
3.0
I was quite enjoying this story, up until about 80%. Then the writing slipped into mediocrity and the FMC began acting way out of character. Bizarre.
5/2023 addendum:
Listened to the audiobook since I can, yay! Hated every word of it, boo. These are not the regular narrators. I get that Bee is black and should be narrated by a black woman. That is not the issue. The way she chose to read this book was all wrong. The intimate scenes sounded like a bad parody of erotica and I can't quite figure out why. Also, her voice for Crulden is laughable. He sounded drugged. And the male narrator was not better. There was no genuine emotion from either of them. And their reading speeds were too different from each other. Increasing the speed for Bee's sloooow drawl made the male parts sound like he was on meth. Or a chipmunk.
I cannot recommend this at all. Read it with your
