I loved this book. It was so good. Quite spicy towards the end but very cute. I loved the build up and the development of blink .
Spoiler I was so shocked when it was guy and then he was going to kill her. What!!!!!! I so did not see that coming
it was cute and I love the enemies to lovers trope. I also really enjoyed how their backstory’s came out slowly and not all at once. My favorite aspect was probably her Twitter account.

I actually enjoyed this even move than The Love Hypothesis. Bee is flawed and geeky and the perfect millennial narrator and Levi may be an emotionally constipated refrigerator of a man, but the dynamic was just *chefs kiss*. It's definitely got a great balance of corny narration on Bee's part (because she IS CORNY but I love her) , heart clenching romantic moments, and plot points that I didn't see coming.

A lighthearted love story in which the last 50 or so pages were the most enjoyable and fast-paced. I enjoyed this more so than some of the authors other work.

Loved it as much as the Love Hypotheses, maybe even more because we got more of Levi’s thoughts. Bee’s trust and stability issues hit a bit to close to home, and I did cry reading some of her bits about those things. Also, I felt like I learned a lot about neuroscience, while also reading smut so absolutely a win-win.

4.0

The story is interesting, and the only thing holding the story back from a 5.0 is just how the main female character is written. I enjoy her, but sometimes the modern day topics put into the story are a touch on the nose too much. I love how the romance between Bee and Levi transforms throughout the book, and I love Levi so much.

Overall a 4.0, it isn't the worst romance I've read and it is a good book. I loved what I read, but the implementations of modern subjects thrown randomly into the story sometimes (just how I personally feel).

This book has become a comfort book for me and one I do re-read! I really enjoy it as a huge sucker for romance! Didn't see the ending coming when I first read it (I think, it was a little while ago). I loved the commentary on sexism, misogyny and classism in both STEM and standardised testing! Definitely going to keep on re-reading!
