F-Bomb alert

Although it’s not super frequent throughout the story, it’s enough to really turn me off. I wish I’d have known before I started it. It’s a cute story, but the F bomb is very offensive and messes up the whole feeling for me—so not necessary.
Also, the protagonist girl, who is supposed to be 28 in the story throws tantrums more suited to a 14-year-old. She is so wenchy, it is hardly believable that the guy could find her attractive at all, especially when he is 33 years old.
