True Sweetness
A functional audiobook. It kept me entertained, but I wasnโt blown away. The narratorโs performance was competent, though some emotional scenes fell a bit flat. I don't have strong feelings about this one either way. The narration was competent but forgettable. The story itself was more engaging than the performance.
