OVERALL: This is a heavy and emotional book dealing with serious topics, check content warnings. I thoroughly enjoyed Ryan's writing style and turn of phrase, and I was frequently on the edge of my seat while listening. Was predictable and a bit too insta-love for me, hence losing a star.
Content warnings: domestic abuse, violence, rape, gun violence, murder, blackmail, pregnancy, depression
I've been wanting to read a Kennedy Ryan book for a long time, and then Long Shot was recommended and immediately available through my library! So I listened to the audiobook--the male narrator had a really nice voice, I thought he did an awesome job. The female narrator's voice was more smooth/relaxed, and I had a hard time understanding her when the speed was turned up too much, so I had to slow the book down to hear her better.
