few issues with the plot:
- did we ever meet celia's fiance because i genuinely don't remember if we did?
- having the racist cop who literally called the protagonist the n slur on multiple occassions get with another black woman at the end was straight up bizarre. and everything with him playing with another woman (i think her name was maeve) barely got addressed. yeah the protagonist says he's bad and just watches the romance from afar in disgust but NOTHING USEFUL gets done about it. the guy's racism is practically looked over and the black woman he gets with doesn't seem to find out about it.
edit: i just found out this book is apart of a series so maybe the issues i had would be solved there.

Additionally, there were a number of loose ends I assumed would be tied up at the end of the book, but explanations for these never materialized. I have to assume that some of this is done for the purpose of setting up the next book. But if I'm not sure whether a book is setting up a second novel or whether it's littered with red herrings, well...
