As pointed out by others this book is very very similar to TLH and the characters have similar traits and storylines are very similar. Even then LOTB manages to be annoying and boring.

There are many things I did not like, listing a few of them
1. Character descriptions - tall broad big body huge mountain of a guy.. it's overdone now
2. Writing style - while i love simplistic writing and i am not usually picky about writing style this one was annoying with too many parentheses that kept going out of topic or made a bad joke.
3. Marie Curie - I love chemistry, i do but even i can't take so many Marie Curie references.
4. MCs - Cliched bringing nothing new to the table.
5. How some issues that women in STEM face is handled by the MC, often it's just Levi coming in to speak for Bee rather than her taking authority.
6. Romance - no build up really
7. The ending is almost comical, what even is it and why is everything wrapped so easily?

Being a women in stem i do appreciate some of the topics brought up which is why i look forward to reading these books, but it was not handled well enough for me.
