There were so many parts of this book that didn’t work for me. I loved the idea of the bounty hunter with a second grade teacher. I thought this would be a goofy fun time, I was wrong. I liked Taylor and Jude as characters but thought that Myles and Taylor were cringy together. I found myself asking “Why???” so many times. I feel like there was just one too many things going on so none of it got the attention it needed. The mystery element takes a back seat and only seems to pop up when it is convenient, just to remind us that it is happening. The trauma that Myles went through that led him to become a bounty hunter seems to be there to act as an excuse for why he’s so overbearing (and a general ass). Even with the romance, everything was on such a short timeline that it just felt rushed.
