This was delightfully cute and swoon worthy. It was slow burn, but it was done so well, and I feel like it made me love the couple more! As always, Ali Hazelwood is a romance mastermind.

10/10. This book was great. I devoured it and also stayed up late into the night reading it. It made me laugh, cry, and horny. My only small slight against the book is that it includes a lot of physics jargon - but not enough that the characters, plot, and romance are not entirely enjoyable. Also, as someone who hates physics (sorry physics lovers), I didn't mind the physics talk as much since the romance and writing was so good. I still love The Love Hypothesis better (no surprise) and it was so fun to have Olive and Adam cameo! Overall, I highly recommend it.

I honestly don't know if I have much other to say than that Ali Hazelwood has done it again. She's left my jaw on the floor and my heart in the hands of a handsome scientist man.

I am fuzzy on the details of the live hypothesis, but I do distinctly remember scenes I found less appealing and more problematic when reading it. With this one though I felt much more in line with the characters and their motivations even when they were experiencing problems or doing wrong things. Both characters were fun to learn about and spend time with, though I do think this book really would’ve gone to the next level if it were duel perspective. 

This book was fun and funny and a great read for some solid relaxing crochet time. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys flawed main characters who actually recognize their problems and work on them. If you enjoyed other books by this author I’m confident this one will be close to the top of your list. 

The main conflict and resolution was particularly refreshing. There was no miscommunication, more a reconciliation of old conflicts. The two characters both worked on their end of things and came together as adults who wanted the relationship to work. Very refreshing!!

This book as some spice, but I would say it’s pretty tame. The characters face misogyny and other concerning behaviors from outside characters, but it’s not the center of the story, and both characters work together to address it (also refreshing).
