Positives. I have both read this book and "the love hypothesis" and it's true what they say: these books are extremely similar. But that's why I love them! You can see the plottwist coming from miles away. I adore the Marie Curie references and that Ali Hazelwood books have surprisingly good queer representation despite 'technically' being straight romances. It's the perfect no-brain book.
Negatives. I'm not a big fan of the antagonist. Obviously he's supposed to be a twist-villain but he's so similar to the antagonist in "the love hypothesis" that all his interactions with Bee and Levi seem malicious from the start. His bad-guy-arc was uninteresting and poorly set up.
Quote. Levi cups my face, forehead touching mine. His hands- they are my home. 'Bee, don't take this from us,' he murmurs. Ragged. Careful. Hopeful. 'please.'
I've never wanted anything more than to say yes. I've never wished to reach for some thing as I do now. And I've never been so utterly, petrifyingly scared to lose something.
