yes I just found my new favourite Ali Hazelwood book, no I’m not going to shut up about it.

I laughed out loud SO often during this read. Bee was the shining star for me, I loved her chaotic energy, her alt style and no f*cks given attitude. She was funny and relatable and oh so human, it’s impossible not to love her as a main character. Her internal monologues had me screaming and laughing, I never wanted it to end.

I’d also like to take a moment to mention Rocio, the absolute gem of a side character that stole the show every time she was on the page. Hilarious. 

The pacing of the story was spot on, the relationship between Bee and Levi bordering on perfection (my heart was tugged on numerous occasions and Levi must be protected at all costs) and despite being predictable on all fronts, I enjoyed every single second of this book. 

A few noteworthy tropes you’ll find are:
- he falls first 
- workplace romance 
- enemies to lovers 
- forced proximity 
- miscommunication (she’s the queen of this but does it so damn well)
