I picked this up off a whim from a friends recommendation & I enjoyed it more than I expected. This book felt like the girly-pop romance version of Project Hail Mary.
My main complaint was the characters are all in their mid to late 20's but they handle relationships and conflicts like they are much younger. This could have been written as a YA and I think I would not have had this complaint.

4.5 stars, It would be 5 stars, but I just wish Ali would take a break from some of her "he hates me, jk it was insta-love" just a little bit. We know what we are getting with Ali Hazelwood, and I am lucky that I tend to like her style,
Two rival videogame designers, on a work retreat, forced to get a long for the sake of their jobs & their own personal motives. One thing Ali Hazelwood nails every time is making characters that are the best to ever do it at whatever they do. I am a sucker for competency, it's my biggest turn on apparently. This book conflict is almost exclusively the miscommunication trope, but it was nice that it came from a place of respect. Most shocking of all, is that I feel satisfied with the characters, & the plot which is really uncommon for a novella.
If you love the trademark Ali Hazelwood plot. If you are looking for a FMC that is a bubbly and kind& a consent king MMC. If you like mutual pining & have a 4 hours to burn. This book is for you!
