Review: Little Voices

Little Voices by Vanessa Lillie
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

The little voices in my head were telling me to "abandon the ship!" (I hate that the ship / boat reference is actually fitting for this disaster of a book) almost immediately after I started what would become the harsh struggle to finish this one. Actually, the voices were more like amplified air horns screaming at me to press the pause button indefinitely on my Audible app, because, honestly, what did I do to deserve to have to suffer through 11 + hours of this nonsense? Do I really hate myself that much? Someone better call my therapist, because all signs point to that answer being a hard yes.

I could go on and on listing reasons why this book annoyed, bored, and frustrated me and almost was added to my DNF pile, but I am sure we all have better things to do with our time (I mean, I personally do not, but that is a whole other issue I should be addressing with the therapist that I am in great need of talking to, and not you fine people!). I will instead recap my overall sentiment towards this free (thank God for that) reading / listening experience in the form of a PSA:

Attention! This book is very confused and should be left off ALL reading shelves until it decides if it wants to be a serious narrative about the impact of post partum depression, a psychological "who-dun-it" murder mystery or an educational how-to instructing the everyday novice the basics of committing criminal activity involving boating and / or illegal fish trading. Right now, it is none of the above listed genres and is basically 11 hours worth of randomly strung together words and sentences. Take caution - this is not a drill!

.....And, if you didn't catch on to the "big twist" involving the baby in like, I don't know, chapter two, please let me know immediately. I will see if my soon-to-be therapist offers two for one deals because you, too, my friend should probably speak with someone.
