This was my favourite of Ali Hazelwood's books so far. I love how realistic the main characters struggles were and how the story showed a very human experience with life's challenges.
Elsie was so relatable! Her struggles with people pleasing and insecurity was refreshing to see. Jack being patient with her but also lovingly pushing her to be her authentic self truly melted my heart. I also really like that she was not magically healed of her traumas at the end of the story. This is not a concept seen in romance novels which made it even more amazing to read!
LOVED EVERY MINUTE!

I think we have all figured out at this point that whatever Ali Hazelwood writes I'm gonna read and probably love. This was no exception. Even more, this was one of my favourites of her. When I left high school despising anything related to science I would've never thought I would end up reading romance books based on scientific characters. But here we are, searching up on the internet what in the world are liquid crystals and other complex scientificic terms. I don't regret a single thing, I've never been more invested in academia drama. Another thing I love about Ali Hazelwood's novels is that they have the perfect amount of smut and the relationship pace also feels so correct.

I'll be coming back soon after reading Check & Mate. ;)

I've seen Ali Hazelwood everywhere without ever picking up one of her works. 
I'm super glad I did. 
I agree that this is not groundbreaking or revolutionary in any way, but I got exactly what I was promised.
This is a fun romance, the FMC is quirky and cute, and the MMC is tall and handsome. Elsie is a people pleaser who was relatable in some ways and fun to read about; I'd also like to point out that the STEM and physics part of the story felt real and I could see that AH knew what she was writing about and didn't invent some unrealistic stuff.
And even if it's not the best book ever, it made me laugh, it made me happy and the vibes deserve a good rating.

I really loved this book i read it in under 48 hours. Love story was very sweet and the characters were fun realistic and charming. I loved seeing aro-ace representation and as a diabetic seeing my own experiences in print was cool! The only reason it lost .25 stars is because there were a couple moments that felt a little awkward because of the word choices, although that could easily fall to personal preference. The science stuff went over my head but it was still an easy read even if you don’t understand particle crystallization. Overall a great read that I really enjoyed, this author is super fun and I cant suggest her enough!
