Not sure why I listened to the end

This book exceeded my eyeroll limit in chapter 9. I'm sooo done with female leads who are a poorly written and over-the-top Elizabeth Bennett. Her pride in her self-proclaimed ability to read people and prejudice against the truth-teller made me want to stop listening at chapter 9. Her motivations seem forced only so the author can provide an emotional arc; not because they make sense.
