Content is Fabulous. Narrator is Terrible.

The content of this book is wonderful. It answers a lot of questions about open relationships and covers a wide range of topics. Where this book falls apart is with the narrator, while her voice is okay, it is very nasal, and when she attempts to change her tone to suit “characters” it is ridiculous and takes away from the content.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
