I said I wasn’t going to read this one because I HATE cliffhangers but I did love Darlington and Alex’s characters so that’s that and also, for some reason I don’t like their chemistry

I hope Ali takes a chance into writing sci-fi romance. Also, as a woman in STEM, this book had all the perks of being a woman in stem and I loved it, felt so represented.

I love Ali Hazelwood writing so much but I hate insta-love. 😭 I had a few issues with the book besides that, for example the insensitive culturally ignorant comments and that STDs should be taken more seriously. But anyways, Ali’s one of my favorite romance authors.

The romantization of an unrequited love that you can only do in your early 20s. Like watching myself at that age and wanted to punch me.
