I’m shocked at how much I enjoyed this, since I didn’t super care for the Love Hypothesis. It isn’t perfect, but it was so good! As a fellow (former?) pathological people pleaser, some of the things in this book hit hard.
My *biggest* problem with it is that—just like her other book I read—he’s so so big and she’s tiny. He’s big. He’s very big! He takes up so much space! He towers over everything! I mean, how many giant scientists are out there?! It's fine to mention, but did she have to mention it so many times?
Jack is also a bit patronizing sometimes, which would drive me crazy, and I don't understand how Elsie can be so smart but she can't tell that Jack likes her. And I'm a little annoyed with the implication that if she hadn't met Jack, her career would be over basically. (That's fine, but that's exactly what happened to Olive too - she needed a giant scientist to come save her career too!).
Anyway, I want the book about how George and Dora met. Lesbian icons!
