This was an okay read for me. I loved Levi and Rosettas' characters only. I liked the writing style and the plot. I hated the way Bee lacked confidence. I loved the spotlight Ali is putting on the STEM programs. Bee gets her dream job with NASA. The only problem is she has to work with Levi who Hates her. When she gets to her new lab she sadly finds out nothings changed. Levi ignores her emails and leaves her out of meetings.  She can't even get five minutes with him face to face. Even worse her boss is ready to fire her if she doesn't start to show some progress on the project. Bee has no choice, but to face her nemesis. She maybe able to do that if she could only stop herself from being distracted by how handsome he is.

Ok the thing I appreciate about Hazelwood's books is they're not insta-love. This one actually brought me to a realization that the reason I probably enjoy enemies/rivals to lovers is because I prefer a slower burn and those plots take longer for the romance to solidify. The romance/relationship plot of this one is a bit predictable, but that didn't really detract from my interest in seeing how it played out. Levi has some great passages, despite this being one pov. I was a bit indifferent about Bee our main character though. Hazelwood also is good at the third act 'break ups' not being too over the top or drawn out. I was quite surprised by the other plotline (her science career) ending tho and that did feel a bit out of left field.

I was told to read this book because it has two vegan MCs, and I probably have only read a handful of other fiction books with a vegan character ever in my life. But I could tell that Hazelwood is likely not vegan herself, so some things seemed a bit stereotypical to me.

Queer side character rep. Bee's lab assistant Rosio (sp? I did audio) was honestly my fav character.

🌶️3.5/5 (this spice wasn't my fav)
