Bree has just gotten the most amazing news about being the co-lead for the NIH on a project with NASA. Then she finds out who the other lead is... Levi Ward. He was a few years ahead of her at school and seemingly despised Bree. Now, some of that communication is figured out early (a third of the way maybe?) through the book but there is a LOT of miscommunication for awhile there. Through it though, Levi seems to be the perfect science-man standing up for Bree and making other men respect her (which has been okay in this and The Love Hypothesis but I'd love to start seeing Hazelwood's heroines standing up for themselves at some point.) It's just too bad that, even when these two talk, there still seems to be something further trying to destroy their project. Perhaps it's just bad luck but...
It would have been nice to have a little more of Levi's trauma explored. Oh, and then to throw some more miscommunication in when we had gotten past most of it. Overall a fine book but I hope that Hazelwood's next book breaks out of this formula she seems to have set for herself in the first two. I can take it in two books but it would be nice to have some expansion in the third book.
