I enjoyed the pace of this book. The characters were sweet, and consistent. The sex scenes were vanilla but steamy enough for my usual preference.

Maybe because I read the previous book in the series, but this all felt super familiar. 

I guessed who “Shmac” was immediately. I had picked the person who was spoiling the project too. Romcoms aren’t known for being thrilling mysteries that keep you guessing to the last second. But as the reader, I did find myself annoyed at the MC for not seeing it all from the get go – though it’s explained why she doesn’t.

I’m considering buying this book after having borrowed it from my local library, and have put a lot more Ali Hazelwood books on hold.

This book has become a comfort book for me and one I do re-read! I really enjoy it as a huge sucker for romance! Didn't see the ending coming when I first read it (I think, it was a little while ago). I loved the commentary on sexism, misogyny and classism in both STEM and standardised testing! Definitely going to keep on re-reading!

Amazing Ali Hazelwood is iconic and now a must read author for me. I love her books and how they focus on women in STEM. Love on the brain was amazing, Bee and Levi’s relationship from enemies to lovers immaculate and that plot twist oh my gosh I was so stressed while reading that

like dang it was Guy and when he had the gun like it was legit gonna kill her if it was for Féliciette.

It was written so wonderfully and I can’t wait to read her next book. 10/10 recommend
