Tried reading this one and it just was not meant for me. This does not mean that it is not a good book, I just was not in the right place to be reading it and have decided to not try picking it up anytime in the near future.

Thank you Netgalley for this audiobook edition of Friends and Dark Shapes by Kavita Bedford.

First commentary on the narrator. She was great! Her soft Australian accent was of course delightful. She had a great cadence and audio presence.

The book itself? Meh. I want to fully acknowledge that I might not be the right audience for this book. Maybe I'm not cool enough? Bottom line, I just could never get myself to care. It was all over the place, and I felt like the author was very invested in spewing every hot social issue happening right now, whether it fit into the story or not.

I never knew where we were on the timeline, I rarely knew, or cared who the author was referring to. It was kind of like being trapped by someone who won't stop telling you disjointed stories of their life and people you've never met.

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* odd but worth the read, books like this just arent really my cup of tea but they can still be good just not something id normally pick
