I still love this book even though I've listened to it multiple times. This is  my favorite Ali Hazelwood STEM story. Is this a perfect story, no, but it makes me happy every time I listen to it.
Consent kink, yes please.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 22%.
More trauma porn, miscommunication, stupid decisions by the characters. Honestly the side characters are so much better than the mains. I'm giving Dr Stanton a try instead of continuing this pair.

Oh boy, this book. This book is just a mess. 

Trauma porn, poor communication, uncomfortable storyline which finally gets resolved but without the resolution put a bad taste in my mouth. 

Almost DNF'd this book so many times hoping it would get better.

Started out well but then a whole bunch of nothing happened for 2/3rds of the book. 
Somehow the arguments/story at the end of the book made it even worse. 
Should have DNF'd, thankfully it's short
