The person who read the audiobook did a great job, and the story is interesting and well-told. The characters seem realistic, and the pacing is good.
I would hesitate to recommend it, at least without a content warning (that and a spoiler, coming now)--even with that, I was pretty offended that the rape scenes were described in some detail, when the consensual sex scenes were not. It isn't that I want the latter, but the former was upsetting.
