This book has my whole heart.

Was it perfect per say? No. Not really.
Was it something that we expect from Ali Hazelwood? Oh definitely yes.
Did this book made me cry? Bloody hell yes.

I don't know why, but there is something addicting with Ali's works that just FITS ME .
She basically :-
✅ Writes the MEN of my dreams. Literally. Adam was something but good Lord Jack I want to cry can I conjure him up for real cause my gosh 😩
✅ Writes HARSH TRUTHS in Academia and Women in STEM. Good gawd she's doing God's work by spilling all the tea in academia and I love it .
✅ Writes the softest and most intimate spicy scenes that its so intimate I teared up.
✅ Writes such wonderfully closed-feelings characters that fits someone good and their voices seen.

This book had me wired-up in multiple items that made me just queasy. I love Jack to the very core and Elsie is me reincarnate 😩 I relate to her on some levels that I can't even comprehend and its liberating to read her being able to voice out her feelings. I love her and Jack together, and unlike Adam from Love Hypothesis, Jack is so straigtforward . He's literally the man of my dreams :')

Storywise, there were things that I felt a bit misisng. If that spot was filled in, this book will win a solid 5 stars. So far, this is a 4 stars overall but imma put a 4.5 just because of Jack. He's bloody perfect. PLEASE ALI I SINCERELY WANT CHAPTERS FROM JACK'S POV CAUSE LETS FACE IT MAN'S PINING FOR THE WOMAN FOR SO LONG AND SO UPFRONT ABOUT IT IMMA CRY AGAIN.

I took my sweet time with this book and I didn't regret it at all. It gave me so much serotonin that I was just smiling after I finished it.
