Critiques
good story





swen
Interesting story though a bit predictable. The reader was a speed reader, even turning the speed down didn’t help much. Also ‘dropped down’ or trailed off on the last word of every sentence. Kind of annoying after while.





Melanie
This was a fun romance. I am so that the reader affects vocal fry and speed reads. Learn from Simon Evers. Best reader Evers- lol. Thank you for the reading though. It is a lot of work.
slow down reader.





Skh
I had to give up early as I could not keep up with this American speed reader. A pity asI don’t know this story.
enjoyable
