wrong category waste of credit
This is chick lit not mystery, crime or thriller. A few hours into listening and still waiting for anything to happen. Story about 4 successful career women who are desperate to have any man in their lives. Makes a mockery of the female revolution and feminist values. Giving up and asking for credit to be reimbursed.
