I skimmed some of this. It was a little repetitive with her insecurities. The instalove with someone who lied to you and kind of kidnapped you is a little weird? Girl is very naive which just didn’t match up with being a foster kid and a badass hacker in my mind.

DID NOT FINISH: 12%

Can’t do this. Barely got to chapter 4. 
This woman is too oblivious (stupid?) for me… (also insanely horny??? Pack it up girl.)

First of all, there's insta love and kissing at all the wrong times (you need to help your sister NOT stare at his lips), and second of all, too many inner monologues that are repetitive and boring.

I don't mind having the romance be front and center when it comes to action/spy novels, but this is just ridiculous.
