I’m enjoying the series so far, but this one is stretching my ability to suspend disbelief. The main character is able to live indefinitely without a job? And afford things like cabs on no salary?

Also, I hate books with people in power who have it out for the protagonist. It hits my inner child’s “it’s not fair!!!” emotions. So I’m struggling to make it through this book.

Craig really wants us to think that all a woman thinks about is what’s going on in their crush’s life. They aren’t even together so a professional agent isn’t going to make sure a friggin DEAL out of who he’s working with, like Craig wants his audience to believe.

Craig really doesn’t know how to write women. ALL of the women that deal with Shade are allegedly “gorgeous” and every one of them supposedly make Sid jealous that he’s “spending time with them,” even though they’re all just working together. Jesus, there’s better story elements to explore than this tired & desperate trope! Not all women serve to revolve around men, & especially not this ONE man.
