📖 It Should Have Been You
✍️ By Andrea Mara
🎧 Narrated by Jessica Regan
⭐⭐⭐✨

I really loved the first few chapters of this book, but the deeper into it I got, the more I found myself struggling to keep up with all the different storylines, plots, and absolute chaos. By the end, I’m still not sure I could fully explain what happened if someone asked me. 😅

That said, I still enjoyed it! I think this is just one of those books that requires your full attention because there are so many moving pieces.

Jessica Regan did a beautiful job with the narration. There were so many moments where she reminded me of Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood), and I found her voice really enjoyable to listen to.

One thing that surprised me was that there are over 100 chapters in a relatively short book! The chapters are super quick, though, which makes it really easy to keep listening.

Greta was hands down my favorite character. She was so clever and easily the MVP of the story. And Mica… whew. Characters like her make me thankful I have a son instead of having to worry about mean-girl drama. 😬

What really stuck with me was how much damage one text message (and the mob mentality that followed) could do. It’s kind of terrifying how quickly lives can be changed forever.
