The book that started it all for me.
I'm probably not gonna say anything that hasn't been said before but I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK. And I will accept zero, and I do mean ZERO, criticism on it.
As a woman in STEM myself I can relate so much with Olive. My heart broke for the academia problems she was going through which are very similar to mine when I was in her position. As silly as it may seem to others, I really was able to look at it from another perspective and am feeling lighter than when I first started reading this book. It's the first time I'm reading a STEM romance and I'm in love. My first Ali Hazelwood book but definitely not my last.
The pining, longing, tension had me in a chokehold. The way Adam cares for Olive and would do everything and anything for her had me giggling and kicking my feet in the air with a passion. I will never be over this book and I never want to be.
Dr. Adam Carlsen is another type of man and I just want to know where I can find mine. I dare say, one of the best book boyfriends out there. And the 'touch the girl I'm in love with again and I will kill you' scene lives rent free in my mind.
Tropes:
-Professor/student romance
-Fake dating
-Forced proximity
-Grumpy x sunshine
-Touch her and die
-0.5🌶️
I cannot recommend this book enough and I can guarantee that Ali Hazelwood has become an auto buy author for me!

I had heard very mixed things about this book so wasn't really expecting to like it but I really did. I really loved the academia setting. It's a very wholesome romcom with fake dating and grumpy sunshine tropes. As a PhD student I really related to the characters. It was just a really nice light-hearted book all round

This was a cute and funny romance. I liked the characters but would have preferred the protagonists to be peers instead of student/professor. It’s hard to not find the relationship inappropriate with that fact lingering.
It was also very PG -rated for 2/3 of the book then there was suddenly explicit pornography for 2 chapters then back to the normal rom-com. People that like erotic books would probably feel like there isn’t enough sex and people that don’t like that will not enjoy those chapters.
The book was easy to read and I enjoyed it overall.

Romance involving a professor and a student. This is blown off by saying she isn’t HIS student so no big deal but it is obviously inappropriate. There is also secondary student/professor characters involved. Graphic sex scene.kaylahcc's review against another edition

Was not a fan. Tons of second hand embarrassment. It wasn’t as nerdy as I wish it could have been and so many of the scenes were needlessly long. I didn’t find it super entertaining but I did enjoy the setting.

This was a very lighthearted, easy read that got me back into reading. I enjoyed the main character, the sunshine x grumpy trope, and the twist.
