I’m used to people writing me off as a joke, a peppy blonde with a Southern accent who couldn’t possibly know anything. But this is my spring. I’ve got a fully-funded two weeks to chase tornadoes and no one is getting in my way. Everything is organized and perfect until Julian Lehrer shows up as my co-pilot all summer. We’ve bounced in and out of each other’s lives for almost a decade, and if I know two things, it’s that I’m a damn good scientist and he is the second coming of Satan. It doesn’t help that I have a history of both wanting to strangle and kiss him. Violet Franklin is the pink and glittered star of my nightmares. We disagree about everything except the fact that we cannot stand each other. I did not anticipate spending two weeks chasing tornadoes with her. I also didn’t realize we’d end up teaming up against our two idiot funders and that watching her drive an SUV would turn me on so much. It’s harder and harder to remember why we started fighting in the first place, and easier and easier to remember how we’ve ended up half naked with each other in years past. When mistakes and miscommunication begin to pile up, Violet and Julian are drawn closer and closer – anyone can see that a storm is coming.

I have come to the realization that I will love EVERYTHING that Nellie Wilson writes.
Her characters have this incredible realness and depth that I crave in books. They have flaws and immense personality that helps me clearly see them as real people. Julian and Violet were no different.
I am also a sucker for second chance romance (with strong communication), dual point of view, and dual timeline. I really loved how the dual timeline gave us a strong overview of their past relationship/interactions.
Julian and Violet have a passion for the weather - tornadoes, storm cells, and seeing them in person (safely of course). So when an opportunity comes up to work with two YouTuber influencers to share their passion with the world, Violet jumps at the chance. Only to discover that Julian is also asked to join them - who just so happens to be a moral enemy of hers.
It broke me the way that the YouTubers referred to Violet, because they are convinced that women are just meant to be pretty on their channel when Violet is out to show the world that women BELONG in science.
My only complaint about the book? The fact that its a novella. I wanted more of Julian and Violet. More of their past, present, and future. I also wanted more of their tornado chasing adventures. I’m crossing fingers that Nellie will decide to write more of them because I want to read all of their tornado chasing adventures.
idk what to say, pls don't ask me to explain myself on this one
