Bought the book (the gorgeous sprayed edges?? I mean come on) but read as an immersive read (with audiobook). 

The accent that the narrator used for Lukas (the MMC) sounded like sexy Nosferatu 🧛  and once I had that thought in my head it just ruined the whole book. 

And I’m sorry but Pen is not a good friend and I wanted to beat Scarlett over the head for talking about her constantly.

This is probably my least favorite book that Ali Hazelwood has written. The story felt disjointed and I felt pretty disconnected to the characters. I did enjoy that they brought in Olive's character back in with mentions of Adam's character from the first book (The Love Hypothesis) and to see where her character progressed into the Hazelwood-verse.
