A little better than where it started, but while I appreciate the expansion on higher education and that the heroine seems like she's drafted into the CIA and is an intelligent heroine, something about this narrative has a bit of a disconnect. It's difficult to care about the characters, though I certainly understand their situations. I get the feeling that it's trying too hard to be quirky and intelligent.

This is a really short read, but man...am I having trouble getting through this. The heroine's voice leaves something to be desired and the very first scene in the book showcases alleged pictures of her boyfriend cheating on her with another woman. Cue in the copious and familiar slut shaming.

I thought this was going to be different than the typical genre. Sadly it's not.

This is another short read, so I'll give it a try. Hopefully it's a good read (I also have approval of the sequel to this, so hopefully I can get to that eventually as well.)
