Seven Days in June

I am a little conflicted on this one.
I listened to the audio book while, still, recovering from eye surgery, and I think that is the best way to go with it. I was not a fan of the flash backs, but that usually is not my cup of tea anyway as the details of those flashbacks are kept clumsily vague until details are revealed to the audience, then are brought up in present day. But I might be getting ahead of myself.

There was a conflict between the mother and the daughter that never felt properly resolved. Miscommunication is all over the place, and certain threads I thought were going to be resolved were brought up and then never touched again. There are major scenes with SH that I personally feel like were not properly warned about, or I would have picked up this book at a different time. Also, the death of a character I really like was relegated to a paragraph.

With all that being said, the audiobook saves this from being a three-star read. Melanie Lee does an amazing job with giving each character their own voice throughout, the daughter being my favorite. I hear a little Kikkimora in there! She gives every word meaning and weight, and you just want to hang onto each of them

Maybe I'll reread/relisten while not recovering from surgery and might like it better.
