I would've rated this 5 stars if it weren't for t1d being portrayed somewhat inaccurately. As someone who has had type 1 diabetes for almost 17 years, there were just somethings that I couldn't forget about in this book. One that when Elsie passed out that she just *magically* woke up and was "fine" afterward, and the, of course, over-dramatization of it (aka falling into Jack's arms when she was low and "about to pass out" (when her blood sugar was barely 70 something). From a young age, I was taught that if i passed out due to a low blood sugar, that I would have to go to the hospital. This didn't happen. minor spoilers: There was a scene in which Jack asks Elsie if her could help her with her pump site change; i REALLY wish we had been able to read that scene instead the story just skipping over it. It's something that, from my experience, is very stigmatized and not fully understood by people who don't understand type 1. So, if it had been in the story, i think it could have shed some light on it and helped the stigmatization of it.

Spoilers over

Aside from that, I loved this book and definitely feel that this is Hazelwood's best book so far. I appreciate that type 1 diabetes was featured in this and that the MC had it (I've never read a book where the MC has it. It's always a background character). I appreciated the scientific references and both Jack and Elsie's character development.

Theoretical physicist Elsie Hannaway's many lives have finally caught up with her. She meets Jack Smith, the attractive, annoying older brother of her favourite client who ruined her mentors career and undermined the work she loves. Ali Hazelwood has a knack for writing romance books that allow the characters to have depth outside the relationship, and i will never stop loving the women in STEM aspect. I loved how both Olive (The Love Hypothesis) and Bee (Love on the Brain) showed up or were mentioned in the book. The only reason it drops a star is because i passionately think that Ali Hazelwood does not know how to give characters good names, and the sex scenes are always a bit too much for me. I love that the characters' faults are presented and no one is "perfect" like you get in other romance books. I recommend this book to romance lovers, but i do recommend reading The Love Hypothesis and Love On The Brain first.

definitely one of my fav ali hazelwood books. i really enjoyed the banter and was laughing a lot while reading it. i loved elsie and jacks connection. Though i felt like the ending was there and well written there was something missing in the last few chapters but i def recommend it!!
