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.

Super cute, lighthearted book with some spice in the last quarter. I found the main character to be smart, witty, and funny. I found myself laughing out loud several times.

was it as good as TLH? no.
did i still have fun? yes!

i had trouble getting into this book, especially since the switch from 3rd to 1st person through me completely off guard. furthermore, bee is kinda whiny. but i LOVED her and levi. 

idc how many times ali hazelwood writes similar STEM romances - i will enjoy every single one. it is her niche and her charm, for sure.

I am a bit disappointed with this book.  I will say that in the beginning I felt the writing was engaging and interesting. That being said, about half way through the story the book became more about physical attraction and sex than the actual plot.  It was bad enough I found myself skimming through chapters looking for the plot to start up again.  Unfortunately, the book never really picked up again and I ended up forcing myself to finish.  This makes me sad because it started off so well.
