Ali Hazelwood is back with another novel full of her signature sparkling prose, witty banter, and unapologetic feminism. Elsie is barely hanging on in the world of adjuncting, desperate for the full-time research position she's applied for at MIT - only to feel like her chances are dashed when the most influential person on the hiring panel turns out to not only be the elder brother of the man she's fak-dating and who seems to detest her, but also the man responsible for fifteen years of derision and mistrust towards her specialty. 

Obviously they are going to fall in love.

And yes, it's more enormous man-tiny woman, and yes he's gone on her from before the book even begins, and yes it's funny and sexy and smart and heart-wrenching, and yes, I ate it up. Ali's novels have become like a hang-out with a friend for me, safe and cozy and sure to leave me in a better mood than when I started.

Thank you Berkley and Edelweiss for the ARC!
