Not sure where the author lives, but it was set where I actually live and the little details that were included were off and kept throwing me out of the story. Skipped some of the crueler parts because I already understood the character and didn't feel the need to listen to them. Also felt the ending was pretty well telegraphed, and I wish the author had picked the other option. That alternate as the whole story would have been more interesting to me as a reader. 
It was well paced and I was able to hear it in two settings. I would be interested in what the character did after the story ended. The parts I disliked are a solid me thing and shouldn't be understood as detractors for others.
