I’ve previously been kind of “meh” about Hazelwood’s books but I feel like this might’ve been her best one yet. Likeable, relatable characters for the most part, a realistic story arc and actual real-life issues? Great stuff. Not amazing-life changing, but very solid.

Help, I've been impaled.

It's always been easy for me to relate to Ali's characters, but our heroine Elsie is just a little too relatable for comfort. This one is for all the people pleasers in the world, it's got a message for us all and we need to hear it.

Loved all the attention to academic politics and the way it shows the very real problems with the adjunct system. Also I always love a good star wars & Reylo homage, which are always sprinkled in here and there (I can only assume Millicent is one of these and obviously there's a straight up Kylo and Rey call out too).

Overall, another amazing piece of steminist fiction!

Ali Hazelwood's very best yet! I loved this book from page 1!

A neurodivergent main character, a spotlight on the Ace/Aro folx on our rainbow spectrum, open and honest sex and play, discussion on masking behaviors and mental illness, supportive, healthy, respectful love, and a relationship with a strong STEM woman?!

More please!
