What did you think of it? It’s been on my TBR for a bit.

It was a fun, easy read. Audio book narration is good, and the narrator does a really good job of differentiating the characters voices. I think the prose and narrator together both did their part really well voicing characters in the story that has a lot of body swapping kinds of things going on. It could be really easy to mix up who is saying what -- but I always felt like I had a good handle on it. The characters each have their own .... Attitude(?),voice (?),personality(?) And that came out both in reading and in the narration.
