Disturbance is a book that I actually listened to twice. After I finished the first time I was so confused I had to go back again and I’m glad I did. I missed a lot of the key parts of the story due to some confusing writing and below-average narration.

The story focuses on some heavy themes, domestic abuse and the aftermath that follows. The first time I listened I didn’t pick up on everything. I was very distracted by the lack of emotion in the narration so I originally did not like the unnamed main character. She came off as someone who just needed to be in a relationship and didn’t care about anything else. This could not be further from the reality and I got that my second time around.

I love when I’m wrong. This was a case of me being wrong. My first read through I didn’t even know how to rate it because I didn’t follow anything and was always lost. On a second go around my brain just seemed to get the material better and I enjoyed my time with the book much more.

This is not a book you can multitask with. You have to put all your concentration in it. If that’s something you like then I recommend this book. n
