My favorite rom-com that I've read in a long time. Then again, it's like it was written for me: grumpy x sunshine, long burn, fake-dating, a smart young woman standing up for herself, a man who is protective of a woman without being possessive. The Love Hypothesis as it all.

I can't read many rom-coms back to back because they're so similar and unrealistic. I could read another Ali Hazelwood novel right now if she had one because the issues I usually have with rom-coms were nonexistent.

- usually I hate the meet cutes because they've been done a dozen times; not this one
- usually the romantic conflicts have me rolling my eyes; I teared up at theirs
- usually the supporting characters are flat; Malcom is probably one of my favorite characters

I adored this book and will recommend it for the remainder of the year. It will probably be on my top books of 2022 list.

As a side note, I want a pumpkin spice latte and a shirt with Biology Ninja on it.
