This is definitely my favorite Ali Hazelwood book so far. I related a lot to both characters and the plot was incredibly interesting.
It was sexy, fun, and unexpectedly featured some of my favorite tropes. As always, Hazelwood comments meaningfully on what it’s like for Women in STEM and how things can get very messy.
Her humor in this one is unmatched. I cackled all the way through it. Elsie and I have so much in common as people (cheese and twilight, yes, thank you).

Wow. I was not expecting this book to grab me because the first half was slow, but I felt BREATHLESS after the big reveal and ending! 🥵
Screaming, crying, throwing up. The feminine rage and political intrigue has me in a chokehold. Poppy and Hawke have incredible chemistry and, at so many points, I really thought I knew what was going to happen and then got totally ripped in the other direction. I appreciated all the very subtle foreshadowing and the atmosphere of the book, Poppy’s empowerment.
One scene in particular was giving Twilight/Eclipse vibes (Iykyk) and I feel like I could see some of the inspo throughout the book as well. I appreciated it and it brought more of the book to life.

Ali Hazelwood is an auto-read author for me and this book was another great listen. Olive and Adam’s slow burn had me at the edge of my seat and at one point, I was chanting in my car “one bed, one bed, one bed” 😂
I kept getting annoyed with Anh consistently being a bad friends throughout the book, pushing Olive to do things that were honestly inappropriate and uncomfortable for EVERYONE and I’m glad this was addressed at the end of the novel. Props to Hazelwood for weaving this into the story because if that’s the reaction that she wanted from readers, then that was a genius play.
The book tackles a lot of themes around quid pro quo and how often women’s work is exploited in academia and the workplace. Tom is a sneaky character and I appreciated how Hazelwood brought that to life to address the issue.
ALSO HELLO THE HOTEL SCENE? ADAM WAS A MAN STARVED. So hot.
Another absolute banger romance. I’m going to read all of her published works at some point. Love love love her and how she represents women in STEM as a fellow woman in STEM.
