pickAli Hazelwood writes my favorite rom-coms. I count on her for making me giggle and kick my lil feet while two people fall for each other despite each other. I‘m not the first to say her novels tend to be similar, but I‘d argue this one departs in major ways, particularly tone. While I enjoyed the science-set plot as always, and I think this will appeal to Emily Henry girlies, its angst made me miss the FUN I always have while reading Hazelwood.
pickLook, is every Ali Hazelwood romance *kind of* the same? Yes. Do I enjoy them regardless as a fun little treat? Also yes! Sometimes it's nice to know exactly what you're getting, and in Not in Love we got another closed off woman in science who is oblivious to the feelings of the man she's made fall head over heels for her. And I loved every second of it.
It‘s been a few days now but this was my #bookmail recently. For mostly nonsensical reasons I splurged on Hazelwood‘s entire oeuvre, including preordering the tagged. I used my birthday gift card from my MIL, so it doesn‘t count as buying myself presents right before Christmas, and then when I got sick it felt like an entirely reasonable indulgence. Not that I‘m reading them yet, of course. Instead, I‘m using my scattered focus to watch 👇🏻
