3 stars for this quick read.
I love that Ali Hazelwood writes STEM characters and for that I let a lot go.
To be fair this book should have ended before it began. Poor lady get half a house, it's inhabited by super-rich guy who tried to pay her 'more than she'll ever make' umm, you move girl. Take that check. But this is a romance book so of course she falls for him (yet doesn't know it) the moment she sees him. (and he her)
If you've read one of Hazelwood's books before you can guess the description of this guy. GIANT. in every way, basically unreasonably so. He puts his hands around her waist and they touch in front and back ?! Girl, eat a sandwich or run from Mr. Fe Fi Fo Fum!
Anyway... I digress, I did give it 3 stars after all. The bulk of the story is angsty enemies to lovers with a probably too dim to do anything but her smarty-pants job leading lady and a guy who ... well he exists and angsts and broods about without talking about any of his feelings on literally anything. Great communication Liam. Good job.
But those 3 stars, yeah? It's a 'popcorn book' you know when you go to themovies and while the lights are dim and the movies rolling everything seems fun and you enjoy it until the lights come up and you start to recap it in your head? That. That's this book. All well and good until a single brain cell starts working.
It should have ended when it caught up to the prologue. What follows the uniting of timelines is... kind of icky. I wont detail you with exactly how it played out and the number of times I hoped it would end... but ugh. This should have been fade to black.
