To answer your question : no this is not a lousy book. You are a good writer and this book is good. I like the female lead. I have already read so many books here and trust me there are some books I regretted reading but not your's.
Girl I was at family dollar when my phone said there was a new chapter I dropped everything and went home to READ! You are doing well you have a few things here and there but girl are you serious?!?! This is epic hands down!
