Okay, so I listened to this and just have to ask, what did I listen to> The narrator gave it some life but the content is just confusing. Our MC lives in the deplorable apartment and has many failed relationships gets entangled with a married man and it's okay because the wife gave consent (yeah for ethical nonmonogamy) and then she moves into their house since she lost her job and shitty apartment.
I didn't get the relationship between our main character and Eric. And the arrangement he mentions that has rules, one of which is not in the home, is broken so what's the point of the list when there were no consequences? And then there is the wife Rebbeca who is a medical examiner, and our MC spends more time with or with the foster (Black) daughter.
The transition between scenes needs work on as when I listened to this it seemed to have just jumped to this is how it is now, like our MC moving in without how she got her stuff out of the old or again breaking an agreement t in the rules.
This just didn't seem to have a point. At least it was short and I can shelve it away.
