I love this author and the book was good but I was surprised by the smidge of misogyny in it. Just a smidge. But most of her MMC's are what I'd consider feminist and this was was a little bro-ey. It fit a stereotype of a firefighter which I didn't expect. Small things like the "cool girl" stereotype, a love for Terentino films, and "pretty girls are a little bit crazy", and guy friends referring to 'b***hes'. Usually this author would have their MMCs address this behavior and not so. It was minimal but surprising. I guess just know that most of her other books aren't like that.
