Mediocre

The story is neither great nor horrible simply mediocre. My main complaint is that often times the characters talk to the reader/audience even though this book isn't written in a format that would allow that (e.g. diary entries, letters, etc).

Hard to Listen to

the Audio ok is neither good nor increadibly bad. Mediocre. Exactly as I expected with no surprises other than the fact, that the female Reader speaks increadibly fast for all sentences and then slows down for the last two Words. Its like she stumbles over these words. At first it was confusing but as I heard more of it, it not only became annoying but also really irritating. She also draws out every vocal of the last word out like she just had a stroke. It could be contributed to her Dialect, but she doesnt do it while talking like her life depends on it.

The Male voice is completely fine. Sounds pretty and sympathic.

The Author had good intentions and for not paying a penny it's totally fine. But there a a couple of things that could improve: like someone else wrote, less showing more telling. Everything is pointed out. Many sentences start the Same and have the same sentence strukture. And the boys need to learn to respect the female lead. Sure, they are highschoolers but even they should know, that pushing someone to do or say things they dont want, especially to strangers, is not a good Idea.

Give this one a pass

I don't even know where to start.
The idea was there. The execution failed spectacularly. I do understand what the author tried to do...it just doesn't get there.
No character development. Atrocious characterization. Dialogue, and story itself, goes around in circles for pages. It's all very immature.
Constant POV changes. On chapter 13 I still cannot tell who of the boys is speaking unless it's explicitly said.
And the constant descriptions....this author apparently never heard about 'show, don't tell'.

Listening to the audiobook also only highlights how badly this is written. No reader would be able to make this good. But the female reader is hard to listen to. There's this peculiar intonation at the end of every sentence like someone is reading a telegram.
