The characters had a great chemistry and it was a really cute quick romance. I really enjoyed Olive’s character and the character backstories. The interactions they had often felt super real and I loved how detailed it was regarding all the science academia stuff - I actually learnt some things.
There’s one (quite long) spicy scene which wasn’t my fav but it wasn’t too bad 🤷♀️
Overall fun read (a bit cheesy and cringe at times) and I can see why it became to popular on booktok.

Personally, i had to put down the book a few times bc i cringed too much but u do u.
The thing i love (and sometimes roll my eyes over) most about Ali Hazelwoods novels is how head over heels the guys always are while the MC is completely clueless. This always makes me want to read it in one sitting and leaves me giggling and kicking my feet at some point.
All in all her books are just very enjoyable, especially for comfort reads without too much angst.
