I'm all in for a silly romance, but given that this was supposed to be a thriller it went a little overboard.

The ending is extremely bad. Like. If you care about anything other than the romance you will be disappointed. The resolution of the mystery is somehow both underwhelming and too over the top.

But the romance is cool. The characters don't really have the chance to be really fleshed out but their dynamic is nice, even if oftentimes cheesy. I'm definitely not reading the rest of the series though.

(PS: this book does that thing where the author takes a random paragraph mid-scene to show how woke he is, in one the the cases giving his wild take that bisexuality is valid in a very 2013-esque way. It completely took me out because it was very gratuitous in the context.)
