So hmm. This book started out really nice and interesting: the typical case of women not being allowed to do things like becoming a surgeon... Seemed fun and it was - at first. But this book literally embodies the ‘not like other girls' trope and that's just ugh. Like sure, Nora is different because she was raised by Dr Croft and assisting him and all but who is to say that there are no other women out there who are the same but just don't have the same opportunities as her???? And then there was the completely unexpected but expected romance... The romance was also kinda bad..? Just ugh no. and while I wanted to keep on reading to find out how this book ends, it wasn't as fun anymore.
The blurb is so misleading too..
