I liked the book. But I wanted to love it. Romance and neuroscience? Sign me up. But the execution was disappointing. Definitely not the authors best work.

this book was so so much fun! I absolutely loved it :) Bee had a lot of character development and Levi was a communication star at the end. I love how Ali made the enemies arch much more legitimate in this one because if I were Bee I’d think he hated me too with his behavior. I love the depth between why he and Levi are who they are and I love the side characters too! Rocio and her fun facts are great. Penny is the cutest too. The ending with Guy was a little extreme for me, but I feel like parts of it are realistic tho. 

Go Ali for writing love stories for women in STEM🫶🏽 especially women who stand up for each other #WWMD👩🏽‍🔬

 loved this book! Took me a while to get into it and for a while I thought The Love Hypothesis was better (and imo they’re completely different) but actually in this one there’s anonymous social media accounts, steminist politics, spice, enemies to lovers, espionage, sabotage, and cats. Everything I love. I do wish the beginning was a bit more exciting and some plot twists weren’t so predictable but it definitely picked up and I’d recommend to romance readers everywhere.

I loved this book! I’ve recommended it to friends, and I loved The Love Hypothesis as well. My only issues with this book was the timing of the plot twist, I wish we got more of the conclusion than we did. I feel like I have a lot of questions about the plot twist that weren’t answered in the last few chapters which irks me a bit as a reader. This book DID grab my attention, I did not want to put it down!! Though, when I hit the plot twist I was kind of left sitting there like  “really?… that’s it?” maybe I didn’t read it as deeply as the author anticipated, but it just felt a little lackluster to me.
