Once again, this book has so many cliches done so well. I loved it.
Not sure about the plot twist in the end but I actually didn't see it coming, so I'm ok with it.
Levi had me melting

Ok the thing I appreciate about Hazelwood's books is they're not insta-love. This one actually brought me to a realization that the reason I probably enjoy enemies/rivals to lovers is because I prefer a slower burn and those plots take longer for the romance to solidify. The romance/relationship plot of this one is a bit predictable, but that didn't really detract from my interest in seeing how it played out. Levi has some great passages, despite this being one pov. I was a bit indifferent about Bee our main character though. Hazelwood also is good at the third act 'break ups' not being too over the top or drawn out. I was quite surprised by the other plotline (her science career) ending tho and that did feel a bit out of left field.

I was told to read this book because it has two vegan MCs, and I probably have only read a handful of other fiction books with a vegan character ever in my life. But I could tell that Hazelwood is likely not vegan herself, so some things seemed a bit stereotypical to me.

Queer side character rep. Bee's lab assistant Rosio (sp? I did audio) was honestly my fav character.

🌶️3.5/5 (this spice wasn't my fav)

A lot of aspects of the plot were predictable

Levi being Shamc, them falling in love

In spite of this, I just ate the hole book in two days and so it's safe to say that it didn't matter that some parts where a cliche and some characters were way too clueless, I still loved it.

I didn't see Guy's plot-twist coming only that someone was tampering with their research so that was a shock.
Bee's feelings of self consciousness about her body, the possibility of someone loving her and her being capable of success were extremely relatable along with her fear of being betrayed again by a partner and/ or a friend - her paranoia related to this was incredible and liberating.
