I think the story is good on its surface but it the details are what soured it for me.
* My criticisms contain minor spoilers and make better sense if you've read. *
My main criticism is that there's too much going on. The sideplots with daisy's job and with Liam's distillery were uninteresting and as the book went on felt less important; the endings for both were rushed and unsatisfying.
Second main criticism is that ever single character seems to lack inhibition. Coworkers and aunties say incredibly bold/rude/insensitive things right to Daisy/Liam's face. Liam flirts with Daisy even after she boldly tells him she hates his guts and that he should fuck off. Daisy and Liam hook up in the bathroom of a bar while her coworkers are there. Then meanwhile characters can hardly seen to communicate like adults about actually important stuff. Liam and his brother apparently can't come up with a solution to their issue (though a 5 year old named Jaxon can).
Third- the amount of sex forced into this reminded me of a porno. Like people are hooking up in the bathroom of a work conference, not just once but twice.II like a good steamy scene but some of it was out of place.
Lots of other things I could've done without. The constant marvel references were annoying and felt forced. The shark stew thing was gross and unnecessary.
