It's been awhile since I've encountered a Men Writing Women moment, but I think a hot math professor asking our male protagonist to regale her with stories of his "psycho bitch" ex girlfriend it really up there. (As far as I could tell, the woman was a "psycho bitch" because she... was polyamorous, had attempted suicide before, and got into arguments with the protagonist off screen. What terrible crimes!)

 This was a breeze to read. Very engaging writing. Some of-the-times things sprinkled throughout that were eh.

I didn't like how all of the women who are not the damsel in distress were painted as awful. Or crazy. Mo being brilliant was nice but she also didn't have much to do except be a target.

It was fine! As a person in tech, I enjoyed the IT stuff
