There is a pattern to Ali Hazelwood’s MMCs and that’s the big hot nerdy guy who’s been in love with the girl long before their relationship progressed. And honestly, I’m okay with that. I like that trope a lot. Bonus points because the men are always so gentle and sweet with with the female leads, even though they’re supposedly on that enemies-to-lovers vibe. Which, actually, I don’t think this qualifies as, because the enemies thing was sort of one-sided (though everyone else thought otherwise). It has a tad bit more technical stuff than The Love Hypothesis, though this focuses on engineering and neuroscience instead of biological research. I like how Ali Hazelwood highlights different branches of STEM, and I feel like her books have truly made me appreciate sciences in general. I feel like Levi Ward was written in the same font as Adam Carlsen. While I said that I liked how her men are more or less the same (hot pining nerd), I feel like he was just too much like Adam or maybe the visuals in the book covers made them too alike for me. She did try to show differences like how smiled more than Adam and was supposedly friendlier, but I think they just kept blurring in my head. Nevertheless, I still actually really enjoyed it. The romance was sweet and cute. I just feel like this book was a bit too millennial for me (outfits, descriptions), or maybe it was just the fact that Bee was a manic pixie dream girl character. I was stressed when she refused to see that Levi was in love with her, but I also think that the fear when you’re falling in love is something we can easily judge when we’re not in the situation, especially since Levi’s love ran so deep. I loved her though, and I related a lot to how she didn’t want to adopt a cat because she was scared of feeling the loss afterwards, which was how I felt before my calico (like Felicette) came to us.
