I really tried to like this book. The premise is great the cover is well done so what is missing? The writing was not bad. But not that great either. The story was worthy writing about, but the author didn't do it justice. The writing was awkward, slow & dusty. The story jumped around and felt sketchy and overwhelmed with descriptions. Too much fluff around and though the main characters were amiable and hard working they just came as underdeveloped. The side characters were just terrible. Yess all of them. The cops family was so cookie cut stereotypical I couldn't stop rolling my eyes. Kind patriarchal dad. Overbearing Mother hen mom who has no substance except for the food she produces by the truckload. The brothers seasoned firefighters but otherwise having the minds of 14yr olds. The senior police officer assigned to our hero is nothing more then book cut 80' image of overweight, big Mack eating, seen it all cop, barely worth mentioning. And the Karma Cleaners were just the last screw in the coffin of this disaster. They are so unbelievably cheerful, they all seem to be on Ecstasy. Not to mention that, the white-soccer-mom hating Oprah, the victim of white privilege, who made millions selling stuff to said white-soccer-moms, is on a pedestal for being the supreme ummm Karma Mama. The backwards bending far left Melinda & Bill Gates are right next to Karma-Mama shining their holiness on their audiences. Right next to the Goddess of love....
How bad can it be? .... Bad, trust me
