marx's review against another edition

slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

this book is better written than 90% of f/f romance novels (not a high bar) but the plot is completely unbearable. just want to mention the extremely funny fact that the book constantly alludes to the ex-military protagonist’s career in a Shadowy American Intelligence Agency without revealing what she actually does for work. folks, the deep state is infiltrating our lesbian fiction. 

(also there are no sex scenes in this. booooo hissss)
