This book should actually be a fantasy bc it is MAGIC!

I loooved this story. We follow Bee (how cool is her name?) getting a new gig at NASA! Her old gradschool nemisis is there, only... She eventually finds out he never hated her.
We all knew it from the start of course, so prepare to be shouting the obvious at her 🤭 she has trauma mkay.

I LOVED the side character romance so much 🥹 goth x prep might be one of my favourite genres.

If you're looking for something to read that'll make you learn fun facts about Marie Curie, sometimes laugh out loud, and just enjoy a fun romance this is for you!

This book made me laugh a few times 😂 I love the humour!

Their intensity at the end seemed a bit much for me for two people who had met very recently, but it was still super cute 😌

This made me cry happy tears! 😭😭😭

This was actually soooo cute! 🥹🩷 It's a short story about an accidental email, originally meant for a teacher but ended up going to a student. She let him know and he thanked her, and wished her happy valentines... Where they continued wishing each other over the years, only getting to know each other over that one day.

It's literally 95 pages, go - you could have finished it by now! 🤭

PS: the valentines that "wins" is this year 🥹🩷

Taylor Jenkins Reid crafts magic with words. She's one of my favourite authors, and someone who could make you so attached to characters in only 87 pages. I did guess the plot twist, but it was crafted so beautifully.

She truly brings life to her characters. Also the Mick Rivera reference had me screaming internally 😂
