Ok look. The FMC is really annoying, the plot was 100% predictable and obvious, there’s stupid levels of miscommunication…
And yet I ate this up. I’m sorry, Ali Hazelwood has a hold on me. She writes love stories that I should hate but instead make me cry/give me butterflies and it might not be great literature but believe me, I enjoyed this IMMENSELY.

not my favorite tbh. SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!! after they fucked i didn’t wanna finish the book and it all moved pretty fast after that. dynamics were interesting but not unique and the entire plot was just a little uninteresting? being hard on it i feel like because i did still read the whole thing in one sitting but i was in the mood for something easy and light, which for the most part, this was. a role player for me!

Once again, this book has so many cliches done so well. I loved it.
Not sure about the plot twist in the end but I actually didn't see it coming, so I'm ok with it. 
Levi had me melting

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)
