4.5 star quality writing
2.5 star plot 
Read as a gift to a friend 
100 pgs longer than needed (it actually felt like the last 100pgs were an addition separate from the book) 

I don’t normally read romance but how obvious it was from the beginning; the plot…. I don’t want to read romance. 
At least it’s self-aware in the amount of coincidences…
We see it from her point of view. Everytime she’ll say his face flushed and he quickly turned away; he’s angry. *facepalm* 
The language used in describing his actions and the conclusions she drew from it are so different.
Appreciated the technical POV we were given. 
Made me like science even more. 
HOWEVER, not everything about her has to be tied to a romantic aspect. 
I’m glad the miscommunication trope wasn’t ridiculous. 

[Edit:] 3.25 to 3.75 
I can’t stop thinking about the characters ( they’re really well fleshed out ) and their romance.

This book has become a comfort book for me and one I do re-read! I really enjoy it as a huge sucker for romance! Didn't see the ending coming when I first read it (I think, it was a little while ago). I loved the commentary on sexism, misogyny and classism in both STEM and standardised testing! Definitely going to keep on re-reading!

4.0

was it as good as TLH? no.
did i still have fun? yes!

i had trouble getting into this book, especially since the switch from 3rd to 1st person through me completely off guard. furthermore, bee is kinda whiny. but i LOVED her and levi. 

idc how many times ali hazelwood writes similar STEM romances - i will enjoy every single one. it is her niche and her charm, for sure.
