Now yall know I love me a good academic rivals to lovers book, but I truly did not expect to fall in love with this book, the characters, and the romance the way that I did. the relationship between Bel and Teo was so adorable and just pure blush-worthy LOVE full of funny jokes and banter. And if you love books with big friend groups full of personality, pick up this book! Bel was just such an amazing, unique, funny, and relatable character! And I loved the girls in stem rep in here, and to see characters like Teo and Mac learn and grow from from it by the end of the book was awesome. This book was just so amazingly written, all I can say is go read it because it's looking like my top ya romance of the year- what a debut!
