Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have to write a review - because I've died laughing reading some of these negative reviews. I get that not everything can be everyone's cup of tea, and I've certainly found books that I don't like. But the way these reviews are writing it, you'd think the author spent 300 pages ranting about politics and trying to draw you over to the dark side, which is not the case. So, briefly, my reason for 5 stars --- I liked the book so much I bought it after reading it free on Unlimited, because I intend to re-read it (and the series) as it finishes. Regardless of flaws the book may have, my desire to re-read it puts it in 5-star territory for me, personally. Pros: - Character development is better than most PNR. - The romance underlies the story, rather than the story revolving around nothing but romance or explicit scenes. - Has enough unresolved detail to make me wait (anxiously) for the next installment. Cons: - The main character caves in FAR easier than expected near the end of the book after her freak-out; seems out of character - It is a little difficult to connect with some of the male characters because you don't understand where they are coming from since the entire book is in 1st person. As for the poor reviews - for context: 1. There are 1-2 paragraphs mentioning climate change in this book - a half-page at maximum. 2. There is 1 paragraph providing statistics on the number of guns in the U.S. followed by a pondering from the main character about whether the situation at hand is a result of poor gun control. That's it. There's no lingering theme on these topics. Oh - and on the gun item - one of the other characters pulls out a gun at one point, and by the time the scene is finished, the main character is happy the other character had a gun to keep them safe --- so, an argument can be made that the "gun control" stance item is not really a stance as the character presents a different opinion later. I compare this character to BONES (TV Show) in some ways. The character is intelligent, resorts to factoids under pressure, and is highly opinionated, yet can also be irrationally emotional. The opinions expressed in the book align with the science-minded personality of the character. Whether that opinion is also the author's opinion on these areas really doesn't matter, especially looked at in context - these "real life political topics" encompass ONE page (total) in almost 400 pages.
