I think I may have enjoyed this more if we got more POV from Lukas. He was way too perfect for a college kid, and we didn't see any growth from him since he was already perfect to start. I think in real life, a couple like this may be too similar for long term success, let alone trying to be in medical school together at the same time. I also hate that Scarlett needed Lukas to help her have a therapy breakthrough, rather than the professional she was working with. Reads very damsel-in-distress, saved by this perfect man.
Some scenes were sweet and as somebody who met her spouse in college, some of their hijinks brought back fond memories. But overall it was a bit long and repetitive, both of the diving scenes and the sexy scenes. I listened to the audiobook on a long drive, and at times it was difficult to figure out what was part of Scarlett's internal monologue versus what she was actually saying out loud.
I'm counting this for the 2025 Popsugar Reading Challenge #37 and #38 - Two books with the same title.

3,5 Hmmm also: ich lieb Ali hazelwood und ich finde sie schreibt echt super romance Zeugs, aber ich kann mit den beschriebenen Art Sex-Scenen einfach nicht umgehen. Ich finde nämlich in gewisser Weise schon, dass uns die im Buch beschriebenen Umgangsarten im Feminismus 40 Jahre zurücksetzt, es wurde zwar angesprochen aber einfach nicht genau und/oder genug darauf eingegangen... Die romance und das worldbuilding, die Charaktere und vor allem ihre Persönlichkeit haben mir aber sehr gefallen, ich finde das ist was die Autorin auch immer am besten hinbekommt deswegen so viele Stern :)
