DNF = Did not finish
I began worrying when cliches cropped up. Pg 25-"where there's smoke, there's fire." Then I realized that the main character, a female private I, was doing/saying things that a woman would not do/say. Realizing that the author is a man, I thought I'd better read some Goodreads reviews. Wow, a ton of 2-stars. Below review sums up why I'm stopping at page 30. From other reviews, I see our private I drinks a ton of "sugar free Red Bull." This tells us that the company paid the author to include this product. Just like we see on tv. Life's too short to read crappy books.
"...you can tell its a woman written by a man.. some of the things she said or did seemed like a mildly stereotypical representation of what a man THINKS that a woman is thinking about or doing. and on another note, how does hazel have leisure time while literally under a deadline to find a missing girl? like ma’am this is not the time to be getting drunk, sleeping over at a man’s house, eating crappy breakfasts cooked by said man and giggling bc he’s...so sus."
