Shannon asked:

Did it bother anyone else listening to the audiobook that the narrator pronounces "Wh" words as "Hw?" Like hawhile, instead of "while?" Reminds me of on Family Guy Stewie and Brian's argument about "Cool whip" ("Cool Hwhip"). Maybe I'm just weird that it bothered me so much....

Cassie I would literally laugh out loud and say "Cool Hwhip" every time I heard it.
Christina Ramirez dude yessss.... It would take me out of the book cause I would have to stop and repeat the word the same way she said it everytime
her *HWHIP* me: *HWHIP* lol
Katie I'm listening to it now and it's driving me crazy. The same narrator does most of Karin Slaughter's novels... so I'll have to deal.
Elizabeth Lally I hated it, especially "over-hwhelming"
Stacey Listening to this now... I'm English and it actually sounds natural to me!
Melissa Yesssss!!! It drove me nuts! I've listened to a few other audiobooks that she narrates for as well, and it throws me off every time. It's the worst! Like really, lady, really??
*Made me think of Andy Sandberg in Hot Rod*
Deepika That's what I thought of EVERY single time she pronounced "wh" words :)
Lisa Honestly, I didn't notice that, but giggled just reading 'Cool Whip'....
Renee Nicole This took me out of the book. It’s every two sentences. I got mad and actually decided I wasn’t going to finish for that reason
sig I thought I was losing it. 😭😭😭😭 I flinched every time she did it
Hannah OMG THIS! I liked the audiobook but genuinely flinched every time there was a word with a 'wh' in it.
Grace Turner THIS DROVE ME ABSOLUTELY INSANE. I'm nearing the end of the audiobook and it is almost unbearable.
Tosha Hankins No, this definitely annoyed me too. All i could thing about was the same scene in FG! LOL. WHeel, WHere.. Ugh yes, very annoying.
Madah J YES! I thought it was a choice.
