This was a DNF for me. The writing style mixed with a MC I didn’t like just didn’t work for me, and at 400 pages it was too long for me to want to push through it.
The book utilizes footnotes, which on audio is notated by a weirdly muffled sound to the narration. They were annoying, especially since this featured a lot of the bits that I think were supposed to be humorous but are excessive - some pages have 4-5 of them. Even the authors note has them!
The MC basically wants to have sex with everything that moves. She objectifies everyone she meets, which is still creepy even with a female MC, and is constantly thinking about sex no matter what is actually going on. Examples - While being tortured by a snake, she wonders what it would be like to get head from said torturing snake. With a footnote of ‘the tongue would be fucking weird, right? Dunno. Maybe I’m into it.’
When she see an ex, she talks about how she was “game theorizing the route into her pants in the fewest number of moves” with yet another footnote (of course) of ‘High score: “Sorry but I’m straight” to eating her out in seven hours, twenty-six minutes. Beat that, quirky rom-com protagonist.’
Satire can be very hit and miss for me and this was definitely a miss. ...more

Others have loved it so it’s probably just a me thing but I found the writing style very repetitive and the story never grabbed my interest. Also, the dialog tags were super distracting to me. I’m not sure how it’s possible for so many people to murmur in a short book and if they weren’t murmuring they were muttering. I just didn’t click with the writing style and ended up DNF-ing it.

DNF audio at 20% - maybe if I had the book and could easily skim ahead I’d stick it out but this bored me and I hated all the characters.

The Bro/Sis are childish and annoying to the point that I think I was rooting for the creepy puppets to win. I think this author is just not for me ...more
