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.

Woah, I didn't expect to love this nearly as much as I did. Content warning that the end gets a bit unexpectedly dark and tense, but I was definitely on the edge of my seat. 

I love Levi and his growth, his recognition that Bee needs time and patience after all of the insecurity in her life.
