This book was extremely similar to The Love Hypothesis-which I loved! But the main character’s cluelessness in this one was too much. I could not with “why does he hate me” in different variations.

Because for the most part I think I was just annoyed with Bee.

4 1/2 stars for this beautiful, cute, clever, and funny book (no steam after drama is all I’m wishing for) rounding to 5 shining stars for audiobooks because it’s so entertaining and well done, even in one pov.

I tried to look at the review even before starting this book and based on what I read here, I was a bit hesitant if I would enjoy it. But SURPRISINGLY, I did!! I loved it so much!!!

Only picked this up as a friend recomended and I fell in love with it 20 pages in. It's witty, the characters are loveable and a great insight into the lifeof women in STEM. Made me love Ali Hazelwood and looking forward to reading more like this. ...more
