Papers Don't Lie by Maeve Hazel
Did not finish book. Stopped at 46%.

The tropes first of all were not something I’m into, but it’s the writing that ruined it all. None of the sentences felt finished. The dialogues were super awkward and clumsy. It was just honestly some of the worst writing I’ve ever encountered.
