The cliché of the "sassy" heroine is getting so old for me. Why can't she be more nuanced? Also the "powerful" male who is basically just a hot bully. These characters seem so basic that the reader can't care about them. Add some softness, some edge, some dysfunction, deeper backstory, interior monologue, internal conflict, grittier details and philosophical inquiries.

It was due back to the library before I could finish, and good riddance. It was so simplistic and sexist that I am offended such a thing actually exists.
