I’m really not a contemporary romance reader, but Ali Hazelwood has something that gets me! I liked The Love Hypothesis a bit more, but this was very similar. (I may have silently cheered in the gym when the characters from that book made a cameo in this one.) Yes it’s somewhat formulaic, but it’s such a fun, light palette cleanser. And it didn’t quite go exactly as I predicted. Also wow consent is sexy! I adore how Hazelwood makes this a focus of her spicy scenes! I’m not saying this is an incredibly diverse novel, but it’s socially aware in a nice way I don’t necessarily expect from this genre.
