My brain chemistry just rewrote itself.
Piper Bellinger (Cross) is this wonderful, colorful, amazing character. She’s smart, she’s beautiful, and an absolute joy. She’s frivolous, spoiled, high maintenance, but also so incredibly bright and wonderful. Take Elle Woods from legally blonde and Piper is her mirror.
Brendan. Brendan. Brendan. I LOVE HIM. He’s so sweet and kind and gruff but he’s so healthy even when he is flawed. Absolutely wonderful man. Also hella horny for Piper but that’s fine because she’s just as, if not more, horny.
We love a sexually active woman.

Bee is wonderful. I love her. She’s ridiculous and a little over the top. Her fashion sense is mildly appalling but it’s part of her charm. She’s got this amazing, intelligent, and over-active mind and I love her.
Levi is also wonderful. Under his cold dark exterior lies a wonderfully goofy, mildly stupid man who loved cats and is willing to aid them in their shitty needs. A wonderful man. A even better husband. 10/10 approved.
The story was so sweet and once again, a lot of scientifc academia stuff that I was able to follow well enough to understand but probably not enough to fill in all the information. No issues however because as intelligent as the characters are (and the plot) they are also stupid. A wonderful balance.

I love them. I do. I love Olive Smith and Adam Carlsen like I love to breathe. Which is a lot.
Olive and her inner rambles on science And hypotheses and her constant emotional turmoil is 10/10 entertainment. She’s a whole mess. But a studious mess. A well thought out mess. An organized mess.
Now, Adam. Adam. He is so fine. Now, realistically speaking I don’t believe a STEM professor who likely lives off cup ramen as a result of his strenuous college days as a PHD Grad student would have rippling six-pack abs but then again, this is a romance. Realism is not key here ladies (or whoever).
They work so well together, and as someone who read the infamous chapter16 with both Olive and Adam’s POV back to back, I can safely say they are whipped. Adam especially. The man is a dumpster fire of emotions despite his general emotional constipation.
Overall, it was cute, it was funny, and I adored Ali Hazelwood’s additions of technical terms and scientific mumbo jumbo. I did however initially assumed it would be more difficult to understand, but it was all rather simplistic. People’s warnings of super scientific monologues proved to be false but it still unfortunately warded me off for several years before growing the cajones to pick it up. No regrets.
(P.s please do not date your (possibly) hot professor. Ethically unwise. Fictionally very hot.)

I love a fellow người Việt Nam <3.
No but seriously the main character being half-vietnamese was a welcome surprise and the romance was cute snd sweet.
This was the first ever romance I’ve read between characters over the ages of 30 and I loved it.
They’re so snarky and funny and it was such a cute read. Maggie Lê is this complete no nonsense, wonderful, amazing woman. Absolute firecracker.
Aiden is this big tough teddy bear of a man who also takes no one’s B.S. They’re perfect for each other. Also, because they are older and experienced, all the common break up tropes like miscommunication. Gone. Deceased. Disappeared. They talked like adults (because they are adults). Super cute wintery romance.
