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.

definitely better than The Love Hypothesis, i feel like there couldve been more indirect characterization instead of the entire rant Levi went on

about how Bee had commitment issues and why

  but it definitely had more depth than the first. i know some people think that the fanfiction aspect is cringey but i think the science and STEM aspects definitely made up for it. the part when

Felicette attacked Guy

was kind of comicy but other than that i really liked the book and would 1000% reread :)
