The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
Did not finish book. Stopped at 64%.

The audiobook is not split well—there are chapter/section breaks that the narrator reads out, but the audio doesn't have a break. The audiobook "chapters" are seemingly arbitrary. I hate it! It's really a slog, and I'm dreading reading it. I've just reached a 6 HOUR "chapter" (64%), so I think I'm going to DNF. I may pick it back up and finish it eventually, but it's not looking likely...

Also, MC is driving me up the wall.
