Review of 'They Never Learn' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This plot was SO gripping. I read this with a friend on a road trip and we were always pausing to talk about various possibilities we thought might pan out a particular way. I enjoyed the uniqueness of the story, how brazenly misandrist and bisexual everyone was, and how the ending left me with a few questions about Michaela.
Sometimes certain writing choices and repeated character interactions/concepts bothered me, so I didn’t mind taking breaks, but the level of suspense and steady pace kept us eager to start reading again when we could. The ending was well done, and I loved how the third character got involved.
This was also the first audiobook I’ve ever read with two narrators and I worried I wouldn’t like two different interpretations of a single story, but I think it worked nicely with how the dual narratives ended up coming together in this particular book. 4.25 stars
