3.5

I gave this book 3.5 / 5  stars because, while there is a strong female protagonist, her passion for social justice and personal growth is stunted when she falls victim to the classic "enemies to lovers" trope.  I would warn anyone going into this novel that it focuses substantially more on romantic escapades than activism. However, it was a very easy read with a nice helping of suspense and resolution.
