An entertaining and enjoyable book. I was intrigued and invested in the story and the characters and found the concept of alternate universes and the dreamworm an interesting and cool idea especially the fact it’s a parasite. Thoroughly disliked Jo, what an awful selfish person and often disliked Bridge but feel she ultimately wasn’t a bad person. My most liked character was Dom. I found the elements of murder/torture unpleasant and on the verge of being too much but I am super sensitive to that sort of thing.
The audiobook narrator really wasn’t great, felt low quality and the accents were atrocious. Not a book I’ll be thinking about for ages afterwards but an enjoyable read in a genre I enjoy.

Dom is wearing a blue jumpsuit and puffy Day-Glo sneakers- "Manual labor, but make it fashion” […].
By contrast, Bridge is wearing leggings and a black T-shirt. Grief, but make it entropy.

“Bridge” is a highly atmospheric, emotionally resonating, edge-of-your-seat adventure! Lauren Beukes poses some powerful and complicated questions about science, morality, trauma, and motherhood.
