Ali Hazelwood often faces criticism for writing similar stories with different characters, but honestly? Put. It. In. My. Veins. I’ll read anything she writes, especially when it’s about a ridiculously tall, broad-shouldered man in a Henley, totally down bad for a woman in STEM he’s got his eye on.

That said, this wasn’t my absolute favorite. But that’s purely a matter of personal preference. If the characters were about 10 years older, I think I would’ve enjoyed it more, since younger people often don’t have this kind of dynamic. Still, I had fun with it! I’d just recommend some of her other books first.
