I enjoy reading this a lot because of the woman in STEM trope but not life-changing or anything special about the plot. I wasn't expecting anything when I decided to read this book, just wanted to get out of my reading slump and knowing that this is an aerospace industry love story I just got excited.
First thing that I like about this book: THE MAIN CHARACTER. Melody Gage, a computer science major in MIT, a scholarship awardee, and work in an aerospace company in LA with high salary just after she graduates. What. A. Dream. More dreamy with the fact that she eventually dates the company's CEO's son. A billionaire. Well, a playboy, was, but A BILLIONAIRE. But not gonna lie I can't see the nerdy part of her, I mean she is smart, I can tell, but nothing so special about that except that she goes to MIT. And some times... she's a bit too dramatic, not the heroine-type-of-mc.
Second thing is: Jeremy Sauer's love language. He is a love interest character I also adore but he isn't all that to be on my book boyfriend list, but his love language? I FELL. Words of affirmation? Check. Acts of service? Check. I kinda picture him as Matt Czuchry for no reason (or maybe because I watch Gilmore Girls). But Jeremy's cute, can't deny that fact.
Third one isn't a big thing but fake dating trope!! Ugh, one trope that never fails me. Also, I realized friends-to-lovers trope isn't actually bad! (a book I've read before has that trope and not the best one. Bad, actually).
One thing that I'm not a big fan of is the plot is a bit... forced. The drama is kinda unnecessary. It seems like they tried so hard to make Melody and Jeremy to be together despite the fact that Jeremy's ex girlfriend is Melody's friend. And also to make Jeremy the most miserable person in the book by mixing things up with his mom (I mean, what does his mom has anything to do with his love life or this story?), and the engagement of his other ex girlfriend. Too forced to be dramatic.
