Hazelwood's books are a tad predictable, but I truly don't mind. As long as I don't read them back to back, I find them charming. There were so many beats that I could see coming from a mile away but I wanted to see exactly how the reveals would happen. Plus I like two intellectually smart people being dumb as well as smart man being so in love with woman that she thinks he hates her because he's so awkward. The endings of her books are always a bit off tonally though, as she pulls in some "villain" arcs that feel way over the top for the rest of the story. But I appreciate how the 3rd act breakups in her books are very short lived (like usually less than a chapter) due to that drama.
