The bully scenario is excused away by a misunderstanding and the FMC being “too aggressive.” Which is also a strike for me, as her fearlessness in the face of threats is a big part of what I like about her.
In the end, it was informative read that helped me deconstruct the tenants of this subgenre. But can’t recommend it, especially to survivors of intimate partner abuse. The internalized misogyny is thick in this one.

Insta lust to insta love. Too many plot twists, barely any plot used to string together okay sex scenes.
Lots of coded racism in how the characters talk about “gangs” verse “organized crime.”
