I was throughly surprised and I thought I knew how this book was going to go??
I was wrong LMFAO. The writing is quirky but fun & it works well for what is being written. Elsie is someone who needed to figure out for herself how to understand who she is versus what she does for others. I think that this book shows a great deal of how one can lose themselves in constantly molding oneself to everyone else. Once you do it for so long, you kind of forget who you really are. Everyone in her life is so demanding to have a piece of Elsie to the point where she has nothing left to give. I love that Jack was brought into the picture to help her realize what she needs and to stop denying herself of what she deserves.
This book had queer rep and I literally had no idea till halfway through the book! I loved how it was incorporated and also felt that possibly Elsie is also on that spectrum as well. Jack as a character, I adored and loved how he shows up for Elsie. I do wish he had more personality than just being an asshole? LOL I felt that he needed more character development. This is my first Ali Hazelwood book and I am thoroughly impressed and how much I loved this. II would definitely recommend for those who like romcoms but also have worked in academia because the amount of information as so interesting. It was fun learning some physicist terms and what goes on in the background of being in an academic setting.
