It's a fun, simple romcom that's cute, well-written (enough), surprisingly mature and witty without having to try too hard. I went into this thinking that it would be amusing in a laugh at way given the premise of it being a Reylo fanfiction that got publicised (which, come on that's ridiculous) but I ended up burning through this way quicker than I anticipated.
I already like romcom movies (I mean Punch Drunk Love and Night is Short, Walk on Girl are two of my all time favorites) so in hindsight of course I'd still have fun when making the jump from the camera to the pen. Maybe I didn't actually think I'd dislike it and was actually eager to read this, but had to hide it under the veil of irony. Who knows.
And the whole Reylo aspect didn't even take away from the whole experience, in fact I actually found the constant reminders of "By the way, this dude is based off Kylo Ren, down to his name" fucking hilarious. That's gold right there.
It's not without flaws but all-in-all it's quite good for what it is.

Personally, i had to put down the book a few times bc i cringed too much but u do u.
The thing i love (and sometimes roll my eyes over) most about Ali Hazelwoods novels is how head over heels the guys always are while the MC is completely clueless. This always makes me want to read it in one sitting and leaves me giggling and kicking my feet at some point.
All in all her books are just very enjoyable, especially for comfort reads without too much angst.

Also, also, women in STEM. What a novel concept (not really, but its nice to see it in the romance genre, or ANY genre, but I digress).
