I just genuinely enjoy Ali Hazelwoods writing. So as soon as I saw she was releasing a new book I immediately went to Libby and out my hold! 

I just really like that her books feel very fast paced and how she approaches sex and romance in her stories. I found Nate to be very swoon worthy. I could’ve done with out the kid sisters but that’s mainly cause I don’t care for children ESPECIALLY when I’m listening to an audiobook (which I was)  cause the adult doing a kids voice is usually very cringe. 

I found it very refreshing to not have a science setting cause I definitely can’t keep up with that…not that I can with chess but still lol
