Ali Hazelwood how the hell did you manage to one up Adam Fucking Carlsen? Reading this made my cheeks RED and it’s difficult for me to become red. There was also no miscommunication like with Olive who was in denial when she figured out she liked Adam. Elsie was just okay with it despite her not wanting to because of what Jack did and even still she didn’t care about it. The romance was cute and I love Jack’s witty remarks and the way he always (and I mean ALWAYS) pays attention to Elsie noticing that she is acting a way for people to like her so he makes her act herself around him just for her to stop pleasing people. ADORABLE!!

I wished Dr Laurendeau suffered a better consequence for what he did to Jack’s mother but it was still’s satisfying to read Elsie tell him off and to make him call her by the correct name. I just love the development of Elsie’s character and her finally having a backbone. This book may even outrank the Love Hypothesis for me and I like that book as well.

And chapter 19 😏 the way Jack begged my mouth was ON THE FLOOR. They didn’t have penetrative sex and it was still hot. I’ll forever think of Jack saying “There’s something really humbling your brother’s girlfriend in your head everytime you come” and  "I did sometimes. For making me hate my brother, just because he was the one who got to eat you out” honestly the whole chapter 19 was just chefs kiss. I liked the others but chapter 19 would be stuck in my head till I die.
