I can't with the way she pronounces Tomas's name.

Like I understand that his name isn't spelt 'Thomas' but I still pronounced it that way when I first read this trilogy. It's weird to always hear her say his name like that. Plus, it low key kinda sounds forced. It always seems like she enunciates his name more than any other word she reads.
It's a great book/trilogy overall. I have and will always recommend this trilogy to friends.

Good story, but way too much "Toe-maas" for me

Story is nice. I could've ignore the way the reader pronounces Thomas ("Toe-maas"). However, it's almost like the writer was worried we'd forget who the girl was talking about even when it couldn't be anybody else than him. I couldn't finish the book, cause I just couldn't get passed it. Eventually it's almost as if she says his name at least once every sentence. I'd suggest reading it instead of listening to the audio version.
