brooke_city's review against another edition
lighthearted
2.5
Low stakes, cozy romance, with occasional detective work sprinkled in. Which, on the surface, isn't that bad. Tho the spicy scene was cringe. Reads like bad fanfic, so very obviously written by someone who hasn't had gay sex.
Also, the minority inclusions were stereotypical in dialog and descriptions. Most glaringly, there are Asians who speak in broken English.And he's supposed to forgive the chick who shot him bc... she has dissociative identity disorder.
That's the reveal of the case, BTW. Unimaginative. And not good representation. I've read better with DiD rep.
Tbh, I'd have preferred a straight up romance without the cases that made no sense.
I don't think I'll be continuing the series.
