Not in Love by Ali Hazelwood

5.0

Sound the alarms, Ali has a new book 🥺 and shit it's a good one! This is probably my favourite book of hers, as well as my favourite characters. Rue is such an angel and she's such a complicated character? I love love love the way Ali wrote her and the complexities but also the way she just went about the relationship with Eli, even though she wasn't sure how to navigate the situation, she followed her feelings and yay girl 🥰
Eli? ✨a man✨. I LOVED reading his pov's and seeing how he pined for Rue 😂 But also how she intrigued him and how he thought about her with such admiration (and horny but yknow obviously), and really appreciated her for who she is. 

The one really was different from Ali's usual books in the sense that it felt more mature? It was still silly and awkward as we're used to, but there's no hiding the trauma of either of them and the way they communicated felt more mature? idk how else to explain it. Please read :D
