Publisher's summary

Teri Jendusa never dreamed she would marry a violent, malignant narcissist like David Larsen. But she did. Why? Simple. Larsen cleverly concealed his true nature until the marriage vows were final. David, an eventual church council president and model citizen, rapidly began to morph into a monster and sociopath, telling Teri on their wedding day, "Now, I own you."

Boy-o-Boy

Let me say that it is a complete shame that this woman went through all of this. That said, her story deserved to be written and told better. Written poorly and the narration was horrendous. It was so slow, I had to speed it up for it to sound normal, but you couldn’t speed it up too much because it sounded slow but weird. He sounds like he’s reading aloud in class but kind of doesn’t want to do it and is bored with the story, hoping the teacher just stops him and says “that’s enough, thank you.” I feel like my previous ratings for bad narration were harsh compared to this one. I hope this was his first time and that he will work at it to improve!

I think I’d say find a podcast episode about the story and it will be far more interesting and you’ll be able to focus on the story instead of the bad writing and irritating narration. Her story serves as a cautionary tale so it’s important to get it right and make it count. This completely screwed that up from top to bottom. Everyone deserves better.
