It is a thoroughly enjoyable and fun experience! This was exactly what I needed right now: easy to read and a successful woman as a lead.
I enjoy Hazelwood's writing style and this book kept me engaged throughout. I loved the main characters and the side characters were either very lovable or interesting! I love that there are usually queer side characters (without a coming-out arc), I would love to see more of them too!
At first, I was unsure of Levi, but he might be my favorite book-boyfriend now! His black cat gets him extra points too. Every once in a while I was so mad at how oblivious Bee is, but it was a fairly important detail for some of the plot.
There is a tendency for the MMCs to be described as big all the time, which can get quite repetitive, but it was toned down in this compared to The Love Hypothesis, for example. I liked Bee's health issues and how she embraced her style, even when discouraged by the dudebros around her.
I enjoyed the plot twists, I immediately caught on to one of the revelations, but was surprised by the big twist! I knew something was up but couldn't figure out who was behind it all.
I like how Hazelwood includes real issues in her books, most women already know the struggle we go through, but maybe someone who doesn't get it will learn how messed up things still might be.
