What I love about Ali‘s books is that they are written in a way that never makes me feel like I have to take the plot seriously. I‘m supposed to laugh at how over the top ridiculous her plots are, while other authors make me feel like they’re deadly serious. That’s probably why I don’t mind the clichés she’s using. So this was an excellent rom-com. I loved all the characters and their little quirks, and the romance was cute. And I like how despite the light-heartedness of the overall plot, she handled more serious topics like discrimination in academic settings really well. Ali‘s books are all really similar to each other, but I don’t mind. I like that when I’m picking up one of her books I know exactly what to expect and that I’ll enjoy it.
