Overall, I really enjoyed reading 'Seven Years: Seven, Book 1' and would definitely give it another listen!
The story was engaging and the characters were well-developed, making it easy to become invested in their journeys. I am excited to delve into the subsequent books in the series to learn more about each character's story.
The only downside was that there were certain parts in the story that felt a bit slow-paced, and I think the book could have been shorter without sacrificing its quality.
Nevertheless, I'm happy that I stumbled upon this series and will definitely be recommending this book to my friends.
The narrator does an alright job, but the story itself is quite insulting to the reader/listener. I'm baffled as to how it received such high scores. I couldn't even make it halfway through before giving up.
The main issue lies with the female lead character. She's as unintelligent as a brick with a desire for self-destruction, and she acts accordingly. For instance, there's a scene where she gets stuck up a tree after fleeing from a "dog." After remembering her friend's phone, she reluctantly calls a family acquaintance who she feels let them down in the past and who has recently returned to town (obviously, they end up getting together by the end of the book, it's so obvious). Instead of asking for help while stuck in a life-threatening situation, she starts berating him about why he left years ago and only returned now. In a fit of agitation, she even throws her phone away, which is her only means of contacting the outside world. Thankfully, he realizes she's in danger and comes to her rescue. This is just one example among many that showcases her profound lack of self-preservation instincts.
I won't spoil it further for those interested in reading this garbage, but I will say that she even puts her younger sister at risk by keeping secrets. She also naively meets strangers alone and allows her ex-boyfriend, who refuses to take no for an answer, into her apartment. Yet when the family friend comes by to check on her well-being, she acts as if everything is fine, even though her ex is present and she clearly wishes otherwise. By this point, about halfway through the book and after several other close calls, I gave up and deleted it from my iPad since it wasn't worth listening to any further.
I strongly advise you to seriously reconsider before purchasing this one.
