  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

The first half was 5 stars, but then the introduction of Nick and the relationship just didn't make sense. The author clearly wants the reader to ship the MC and the bartender but threw in this character and kind of had Finlay leading him on even tho she clearly liked someone else just so the book she's writing would reflect real life without involving the bartender. I just don't think that relationship was done well and by the end of the book, while I want to find out what happens with the cliff hanger, I don't want to continue with these characters and I have a feeling the second book is a lot more focused on romance based on the fact that the second half of this book was. Also I can't believe
Finlay told him everything? That is so stupid? Why wouldn't he turn around and go to the police? He literally said they don't have any legal binding for him not to and she definitely broke a lot of laws. It would only make sense if he had a backstory similar to the situation, but like I said we literally know nothing about him, which now that I'm think about it is super weird?


Anyway, I liked the first half and the mystery plot and shenanigans but the romance took over the second half and wasn't well written imo.
