Ugh there were many things in this book that I found endearing... but revealing the MMC as pro-cop/cop adjacent 75% through was annoying and turned me off to it for the remainder of the book. (ACAB always, even in fiction, sorry not sorry!) So I can't be objective about the rest of the book.
🎧 Story was 3rd person single POV (FMC) and had one female narrator. Her performance was good.
🌶️ 2.5/5 One explicit scene.
🏳️🌈✊ Most of the book takes place with only the two MCs in the middle of nowhere, but the author included a good amount of racial diversity in the characters. I think the FMC is Latine but it was just a quick mention so I'm not sure I'm remembering right now that it's over. I didn't clock any other types of diversity (neuro, lgbtqia+, disabled, class, etc.) in the book.
