The first 20% of this book dragged PAINFULLY, to the point where I wondered if this was going to be the one and only Ali Hazelwood book I would DNF because of all of the rambling and uninterrupted misogyny was frankly painful HOWEVER once it picked up (around 21-22%), I was hooked and barely put it down.

Hmmm. The romance was cute and I really like the use of facts and humour by narrator and characters. It was predictable but I don’t mind. 

Not comfortable with how the Guy storyline was handled. I wish the main two had spotted the problem earlier and worked together to detect the cause and impact of Guy.

Cute :) It was nice to read enemies to lovers that was genuinely executed well for a change. I enjoyed the feminist themes in this book as well, a lot. Very similar to the love hypothesis, but so much better. If you liked that book then you'll love this one.

Ali Hazelwood has managed to kidnap my brain, my heart, and my 🐱 on this one. I finished it in less than 26 hours — started it at work one day and finished it the next. I fell in love with the characters and desperately needed to see more. I cried at least 8 times and it was worth it. But seriously, if someone makes a real Levi Ward, give me a call. Please. I beg of you. I told my boyfriend he’s gonna have to read this one. And now you have to too. Just read it. Fall in love with two giant NASA nerds. Just do ittt

While I did not enjoy this book as much as The Love Hypothesis I did really enjoy the story. Ali Hazelwood is able to create real characters that I truly care about. This book had me laughing, rolling my eyes, and wanting me to yell at the characters to just kiss already. The chemistry between Bee and Levi was absolutely *chefs kiss* and I loved some of the fun pop culture references. I always enjoy the STEM-inist themes in Ali Hazelwood’s books, she is easily becoming a favorite and auto-buy for me.
