    Recommended Format

    Maybe this is a feature request, but I wanted to have a little discussion first. For some books the format can be make or break, and for a variety of reasons.

    Sometimes the narrator or voice talent is just not a match and it can cause you to DNF the book. Similarly, the writing style can be awkward if the writing is trying to convey something casual by inserting parenthesis or using italics constantly.

    Other times the audiobook has such fantastic talent or uses two voices for a dual POV style that wasn’t in the book.

    All of this to say, what do we think about having a recommended format on books? Or even a format to avoid!

    The amount of little jokes in parentheses is quite distracting. Not sure this kind of writing style is really for me tbh.

    DNFing. The writing is definitely not my style, which is unfortunate because a lot of people seemed to like this book.

    The descriptions of people and their behavior is just so good.

    It was short and it was ok. Was this a slow burn? Not my fave Ali book.
