3.5

Although I was entertained by this book, listening to it on audio was not easy because of the focus on reading emails and repeating the subject line over and over again. I almost didn’t finish the book, but glad I did because I liked the surprise ending a lot and Bahni Turpin’s portrayal of GaGa / Betty Devlin!
