So… I did not love love love this book. At the beginning I felt like it was too similar with The Love Hypothesis. Same plot, same thing, with the difference of areas here the main characters worked. So that caused for me to take some time to feel the connection with the book.
Didn’t really connect with the main characters either, liked the secondary ones way more. Also the whole miscommunication trope is definitely not for me and the constant need to reforce that the male character hated the female one (in her eyes only) was kinda tiring and to similar with the other book as well.
Liked the romance part on this on better, laughed a little more and the whole dinamic between them was really cute. Also the constant references to Marie Curie were a BIG PLUS for me, I love Marie Curie and there was a lot of things I didn’t know so it was fun to discover them! Also the STEM environment is still a must for me, loved all the girl power and f**k you’s, but also it’s so well portraited the mysogny and the male chauvinism and the fact that even in today’s world you still need to “be supported by a man” in some of your actions or decisions to be taken serious.
One of the plot twists by the end was so unnecessary for me, it was just to bring drama and for me it just made me roll my eyes and ask “why God, why?”.
I think this was a lot smuttier than The Love Hypothesis, maybe a 3/5

Puntuación 2/5

El hilo de la historia es muy parecido al de la hipótesis del amor, se conocen en un ambiente laboral, viajan a un congreso académico, luego cuando vuelven al punto de inicio y hay un avance en su relación, acontece una situación grave que hace que se separen de forma muy fea, falla la comunicación y luego suceden cosas para tratar de reparar el revés, finalmente la pareja se reencuentra y final feliz…

La protagonista es demasiado insoportable y melodramática, además que la cuestión de las suposiciones y el tratar de hacer una imagen mona no me convenció. Al contrario su comportamiento con el protagonista es grosero.

Muchas de las cosas que se desarrollaron en el ámbito laboral terminaron por ni tener sentido ni aporto nada a la historia.

El principal cliché no fue el enemies-to-lovers sino la falta de comunicación, la falla en un aspecto tan importante y saludable tanto en una relación como en el área laboral, llevo a la protagonista más que todo suponer un montón de cosas que ni al caso.

El romance no es convincente, y se fue más por el recurso del amor instantáneo.

Bueno si hubo aspectos que fueron adorables en la hipótesis del amor. Este libro no supera al anterior en ningún aspecto, ya que se usa el mismo formato solo que está vez no es tan lindo.

I wasn't sure about this one at first.It took me a while to get into.  Romances usually suck me in right away... this one it took a few chapters.  But once I was sucked into the story, I was all in.  I read a majority (all but 50 pages) of this book in two days.  I ended up loving this story, though the miscommunications were quite obvious from the beginning to everyone involved in this story but Bee.

Could've done with a little less man hating and some of Bee's internal dialogue was slightly over the top, but overall, I enjoyed this one a lot.
