Sigh… Ali Hazelwood really out did herself… I’m simply obsessed with Jack and Elsie. particularly I love Elsie bc sometimes I think it’s hard as women that we all do the thing of trying to be what everyone else wants us to be so that was uh… a little too relatable

These books also remind me how much sometimes I miss being a nerd in school and spending hours on equations for engineering… like this book really has me thinking I might like theoretical physics which is insane but …..

Regardless this was just perfect you can really see how Ali evolved her writing style. It didn’t feel as rushed (don’t worry the last 20 pages are stilll jam packed and I wish it was a little longer) but I enjoyed how drawn out this one was.

To be honest I’m not sure how I feel knowing I’ve read these books but I would do a lot to be able to read them for the first time. I also never write reviews this long so must say something

I was really excited to pick up this book, but it ended up being a little boring. I didn’t overly hate it, but it truly read like a fan fiction that got changed into a different setting/new characters so it could be published. The relationship between Elsie and jack felt rushed and lacked heart, desire, yearning, longing, and really any other feeling that would make you want to root for them or see their chemistry. Also
the sex scenes?? We get it!! Elsie is soooooooo tiny and jack is sooooo big, I hate that that was really his only trait - big guy who likes science and is secretly a feminist who sticks up for women and only wrote a bad article that almost destroyed a discipline because he was mad about his dead mom
. I honestly don’t know if I would have finished the book if it wasn’t for the fact that I brought it with me on vacation and I didn’t have much else to read. Overall the story was underwhelming and empty. Probably won’t read anything else by this author again.
