Cute characters, nerdy stuff, humor and a sweet love story. It's a great mix for a few hours of distraction.

The plot is predictable, but that's not usually a bad thing for me in a romance. The consent situation is better on this one than in Love Hypothesis, in no small part because Levi and Bee are peers, unlike in the other book.

Bee's fainting disorder is used to excess (it becomes quite distracting in the story). Also, the Twitter subplot reminds me a little too much of the fan fiction subplot in Olivia Dade's Spoiler Alert. 

As long as you're not bothered by tropes, this is a good read!

Ali Hazelwood's books are always a good bit of fun; however, I do have some issues with this one. First, the main character, while likable, is super frustrating. She's painfully oblivious and her capacity for denial is insane. It's never fun when you feel like you're miles ahead of the main character, and that was certainly the case here. Second, a lot of the plot deals with sexism in STEM, which is understandable, but the constant horribly misogynistic interactions we got to see kept me from having as much fun as I want to have with a romance novel and left me instead feeling like a walking, talking ball of rage. Finally, There's way too much focus on actual science here for my little liberal arts brain. I didn't need nearly as much information about their project as I got, and I found myself skimming whole sections because the characters where just talking shop. 
       That said, I did have good time with this book. The hero was super dreamy, most of the humor landed, and the sex scenes where great. I'd say if you didn't like The Love Hypothesis this one won't turn you into a Hazelwood stan, but if you like her work in general, it's defiantly worth your time.

the "im so tiny" and "oh hes so big" is making me sick, i just imagined she was 5'9 because she was giving tall vibes idk. 
the plot was soo predictable, i knew from the start levi was whatever username on twitter and that guy was shady. 
the sex scenes were weird, like ajsja "open your mouth" and "good girl" boy what the hell...

i enjoyed the love hipothesis wayy more.
