3.0

This was not as good as the other two books I've read of hers (Bride and The Love Hypothesis), but I still enjoyed it. I just really lowkey hated Bee, I thought she was just like the FMC from TLH but with even less of a personality. 

I feel like Ali Hazelwood knows how to write exactly 3 characters. The first is a quirky, weird side character and there's always something about her to add a little diversity. 
The second is a tall, smart, handsome white guy love interest with blue/green eyes and muscles for days. 
The third is (I'm fully assuming this because I actually don't know her in real life) herself. 

I appreciate it though, however, I do think the reason why I didn't love this as much as TLH is because this is the same book just slightly to the left and I read that one first so it's automatically better. I think reading a third one would be overkill and I will just flat out not like it. Like hearing the same joke 3x.

Also I hated the main villain,
the switch over was just too much and too sudden
