Much better than the Love Hypothesis. It still had miscommunication, but I feel the story was more believable and fleshed out. I loved the Bee and could relate to her so much more than Olive in the last book. This book was a nice cozy read to me until the end when shit hit the fan. But it ended nicely, and I am gonna start the next book tomorrow!

The first 20% of this book dragged PAINFULLY, to the point where I wondered if this was going to be the one and only Ali Hazelwood book I would DNF because of all of the rambling and uninterrupted misogyny was frankly painful HOWEVER once it picked up (around 21-22%), I was hooked and barely put it down.
