I feel so iffy about this.

I think I am not continuing on with the series. I checked and book 1 was only a 3 star. This was a firm  2. 

So I found the FMC annoying. She was very young feeling and immature and this is tagged new adult so I don't love that feeling in that genre of book somewhat expect a little immature behaviour but not really keen.

Something that spoilt my enjoyment pretty much straight off the bat was her arguing with some off duty cop he impounds the car and then it's not really mentioned again. I checked to see if I managed to skim over it just because I struggled with this so badly. And I'm pretty sure I didn't but it just was a feels bad. She was right or appeared right and she got consequences that weren't fair and he didn't swoop in and fix it. It just was off putting for me and I don't know why. I think even if she could get her own back it would have felt OK.

This was just slow and a chore after that and it's silly something put me off but I was hoping it was at least somewhat resolved positively but it wasn't and I was over it.
