I really enjoyed reading this until I found out it comes from the same universe as Reylo fan fiction. Nothing against people who like that! I just don’t, and it ruined it a bit for me. Thanks for getting me out of my reading slump though!

I loved this book. I enjoy STEM romances and Ali Hazlewood as an author. This book is cute. While being contemporary romance it talks about struggles of women in stem. These books bring me joy.

okay this book was SO millennial and cringe at the beginning i really considered putting it down but i did get into it! 
 i came looking for a simple romance and that’s what i got so not really any huge complaints.
secondhand embarrassment was strong but i guess that means i was invested? characterization was a little weak but overall it was pretty nice time

4.0

I liked it, but not as much as Ali's other books. I did feel almost like I was reading the same story with a different setting. Nothing inherently wrong with that, but on this occasion it did feel like another  repetition of Ali's formula for her books.
However, I thoroughly enjoyed it either way. The characters were really funny and lovable, which you can always count on Ali to deliver.
