4.0

was it as good as TLH? no.
did i still have fun? yes!

i had trouble getting into this book, especially since the switch from 3rd to 1st person through me completely off guard. furthermore, bee is kinda whiny. but i LOVED her and levi. 

idc how many times ali hazelwood writes similar STEM romances - i will enjoy every single one. it is her niche and her charm, for sure.

I saw how it was going to end pretty early on. A good read but pretty easy to guess the plot. I enjoyed the characters and how the story unfolded though. Quick and easy read.

Best parts about this book are the constant references to Dr. Marie Curie (who I wrote a paper about in middle school and worshipped) and the validation of being a woman in STEM. From thereon out, you can't really go wrong. 

Spoiler

Get u a man as pathetically in love with you as Levi is with Bee. Get u a girl as intelligently stupid about that love as Bee is with Levi. Get you some cats to keep you both company.

Total P&P vibes with extra you’ve got mail  layer! Super steamy and super nerdy! Love the characters, especially the RA (who is basically April from parks and rec), the cats are a blast, and I LOVE that the science is legit!!!

If I could describe this book in a few words, it would probably be fun and ridiculous. Bee is very dramatic and is expressive (which goes from entertaining to mildly annoying). Levi, on the other hand, is very reserved and serious from an outsider's perspective. As the book progresses however, it is clear that Levi has had a crush on Bee for a long time. Once Bee starts letting go of her preconceptions about Levi as she gets to know him they are very cute together. I could have done with a less public display of affection from them since it went a little overboard for my taste at times (quite inappropriate at times actually). However, overall this was fun for what it was. A cheesy fun romcom. I'm looking forward to reading more lighthearted books like this in the future.
