Little Drunk Girl
🛌 Bedtime stories for adults? Yes, please! This app is a dream come true. 🌙📚 ListenBook has elevated my audiobook experience to new heights. It's a treasure trove of knowledge. Not bad, but not amazing either. The narrator’s voice was pleasant, though some parts felt a bit rushed. The story had its moments, but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it over similar titles in the genre. Fairly enjoyable, but forgettable. I didn’t have any major complaints, but I also don’t see myself revisiting this one. It was a decent way to spend a few hours, though.
