This is the first Ali Hazelwood I haven't given a 5 star and its super hard not to but in the name of honesty I have to give this one somewhere between a 4 and a 4.5. This book was hilarious at times and I really enjoyed watching Elsie grow. However the academia got a bit too much at times.  I loved getting to see the politics and the interview process but when physics itself was being discussed it was in a way that made it hard for me to read and understand. My other criticism lies in how long the middle portion if this book felt. The beginning flew by and the ending was so good but the middle was hard to get through. I know Hazelwood is famous for slow build up in the middle of her books but this one was too much for me mostly because I felt very little spark from our heroine's perspective in regards to the obviously budding attraction. I needed a bit more from that because it was obvious Jack was totally gone for her.
