Cute characters, nerdy stuff, humor and a sweet love story. It's a great mix for a few hours of distraction.
The plot is predictable, but that's not usually a bad thing for me in a romance. The consent situation is better on this one than in Love Hypothesis, in no small part because Levi and Bee are peers, unlike in the other book.
Bee's fainting disorder is used to excess (it becomes quite distracting in the story). Also, the Twitter subplot reminds me a little too much of the fan fiction subplot in Olivia Dade's Spoiler Alert.
As long as you're not bothered by tropes, this is a good read!
