All the Little Raindrops by Mia Sheridan
Did not finish book. Stopped at 19%.

DNF at 19%. I picked it up because it's Mia Sheridan. I loved Archer's Voice and I was so surprised that she also write thrillers. So...I gave it a try. Unfortunately, my interest just went out of the window. I tried to picked it up several times but I am struggling to pay attention past chapter 10. Idk, maybe I'll pick it up again. Maybe not.

DNF at 71%. You know what, I'm just tired rolling my eyes every time I tried to read AND listen to this book. I just can't. Am sorry. But I picked up a few good points from her psychiatrist. I endured the 137/194 pages for the past 3 days.
