Ahh I loved this so much! Probably my favorite of these 3 STEM-themed books. Such a great, cheesy, romantic love story! Also, I know I’m not the only one that wanted to punch the Wards in the face. Just had to throw that out there!

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.

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!!!
