On hiatus from this one. I'm not interested in the story whatsoever. May end up DNFing.

For fuck's sake, Charlotte, just ask her to move out if you don't like her there. I get so fed up with plots that only exist because the main character doesn't do what any rational person with two brain cells to rub together would do.

Why am I getting a full page story about a very minor character's encounter with a shark??? FFS get on with the actual plot! This book is so fucking boring and drawn out!

For the fourth time in 60 pages, we have been told there is a woman's dead body waiting to be discovered.

Can we please fucking discover this fucking body and fucking get on with it instead of this pretentious fucking bullshit?

Why doesn't Jane tell Sophie to grow up and fuck off?

Someone has been leaving notes inside and outside her home - SHE HAS THEM ON CCTV EVEN - and she's texting someone she has just met to ask what to do?

CALL THE FUCKING POLICE! YOU HAVE CCTV OF THE PERSON!

Are authors even trying to have characters make credible decisions anymore?

Chloe is telling Reid how she lost her baby.

His response.

"I can check this out, you know."

Fuck off, Reid, you absolute toad.

How many times are we going to get a rundown of the crime scene? This is about the fifth time it has been repeated to us.

We get it!

Jack....get a fucking paternity test!

You've received a sinister, mutilated toy for your son from someone you don't know and later discover it is also been stuffed with animal organs.

WHY THE FUCK AREN'T YOU GOING TO THE POLICE YOU FUCKING NUMBSKULL????

What the fuck is this?

I thought I picked up a thriller. Instead it's about an interpreter adopting a kid and all the jobs she goes to. WHAT RELEVANCE DOES THIS HAVE?

How many fucking times are we going to recap that Beth's house got broken into?

That dream sequence was a very cheap trick. That's an R.L. Stine-level of writing. Why even bother?

What the hell do I do now?

You get the fuck out of there, Kelly, you absolutely stupid, pathetic moron.

This is possibly the most boring fucking book I've ever read.

And what was the point of chapter 15? What does this domestic violence plotline have to do with anything?

Get to the point already!

Can anybody tell me what the fucking point of chapter 12 was?? Talk about padding!

Some part of her knew she should be horrified by the stupid show of swaggering, testosterone-fueled violence. But the truth was, it had kind of turned her on.

Yuck. Just...no. Fuck off with this shit. 1 star.

So, they're just allowed to take a baby across state lines?

If Reed doesn't like having a baby around, why did he insist on looking after it once the police were involved? None of this makes sense!

This is just stupid. An abandoned baby would be an instant police matter.

Ashley, if you need Lester Grant to drop off the face of the earth, TELL THE FUCKING POLICE HE'S HARASSING YOU, YOU STUPID BINT.

My God, this book is infuriating.

Oh my God, why the FUCK won't Ashley say who threatened her?!? This makes no fucking sense!

Heroine wakes hero up from a nightmare and he immediately physically assaults her.

I HATE THIS SHIT.

Why does this happen so often in romance novels?

Daniella doesn't think there's any way to find out who is leaving gifts on her porch.

Ever heard of CCTV, Daniella?

Bloody hell.

JUST UNPLUG THE FUCKING PHONE YOU STUPID, MISERABLE, USELESS FUCKING BITCH. Use your mobile only. That will solve everything.

Is Cass being gaslit by Matthew and Rachel? Tell me it can't be that obvious!

"You want it just as much as I do."

This is the 'hero's' response after the heroine tells him "no" - twice!

Why is Susanna Carr allowed to write romance?

Yes, Kate, you are that easy to read. Fucking morons usually are.

How did this unbelievably stupid and useless bitch protagonist pass the vetting process for this job as a DOCTOR??!!??
