After reading Love Hypothesis I knew I wanted to come back for more academic romance and I was not disappointed! Elsie is probably the most relatable character within the cinematic universe of STEMance (do we have a name for it yet?) and made me feel so seen and so understood. Even if you're not from a STEM background, Hazlewood's characters are so easy to understand, recognize, and love. They each are so human and so identifiable that there truly is a STEMance (seriously...) character pairing for everyone. It just proves how incredibly well-rounded Hazlewood is, and how talented she is in her writing. To be able to convey such emotions that are hard to articulate or even identify, and use them to create a story is such an incredible skill that she is truly slaying at. I said it. She slayed. Elsie and Jack are my main slayers. They're the lead singer main dancer duo that constantly has viral fancams and ship edits. Slay.
