*TINY SPOILERS AHEAD*

This book managed to remain lighthearted and fun despite dealing with some hard topics such as misogynistic views in a STEM setting and how that paves the way women act in a usually 'masculine' type setting.

I found that the book was hollow and the ending seemed rushed. I feel like the writer should've encorperated more of the mechanical side of this book into the romance side and vise versa, making it seem more rounded up. Frequent time skipping sometimes even months into the future doesn't help

This book is definitely meant for a younger audience as opposed to older teens.
