Fanfiction of a middle-adged white mom

Not an enjoyable listen for me. The main characters are all very two dimensional and cliché. Reads like the fanfiction of a middle-aged white mom who does not know a whole lot about investigating or actually anything. The main character is a "quirky" career-driven woman who obviously falls in love with the next random guy she meets and takes her cat everywhere. The guy is the classic hot love interest who does not provide anything to the story except connections to actually helpful people and his ex-cop attitude. Both of them are written to be supposedly "tech-savvy" because they know about emails and can "hack into the account" of the person who has gone missing. They also think sharing your love of flowers and horses on the internet and using dating sites is somehow way to naive and basically asks for potential stalkers. Trigger warning for disturbing childhood trauma btw. The missing woman turns out to have a very disturbing childhood trauma that is the main subject of the investigation after a certain point. The predator is actually questioned by our duo and the reactions to his actions are way too tame. I am not saying they condone his behavior but the topic is not handeled with the care and respect that is due for such topics. If you want to write a cliché romance story of a 2D "intelligent and independent" journalist woman who falls for the compassionate but more cynical ex-cop with a crime as their introduction to each other, don't try to include heavy subject matter such as SA. A boring read with way too many issues. I don't recommend.
