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.

 I think I have to agree with a lot of other reviewers. This has too many similarities to the author's first novel, The Love Hypothesis. I appreciate her writing about women in STEM, but unfortunately, the main character in this book doesn't seem like a strong, independent woman anywhere but the lab. There were still enough plot differences to make for a fun read, though comparatively speaking, the differences in characters and their backstories, overall plot, and elements of romance and mystery seemed underdeveloped and made this less interesting
