Loved it! One of my favorites of the year.
emotional funny

Adorable romance. Easy to read.

A solid 5 stars for this book. I know it's really hyped up all over bookstagram. It didn't really intrigue me tbh, in fact, it wasn't even in my March tbr list. But I just so happen to stumble upon the book and read the first page, and then I couldn't stop reading.
I love everything about this book, from start to finish. It has everything that I want in a rom-com, especially the fake dating trope. Haven't really read many fake dating books to begin with. AND OLIVE AND ADAM REALLY LOOK PERFECT TOGETHER. I can picture them in my head as I was reading. So cute!!
Really like Adam. He is giving me the im-cold-to-everyone-else-except-you vibes. One thing I didn't expect was Olive and Adam's age gap. I know it's nothing big, but I was stunned when I learned that they were eight years apart.
Also really like the friendship between Olive, Anh and Malcom. They're so sweet to each other, just the type of friendship i would want.

SpoilerReally loved this book! Such a sweet story and was great to see a cute relationship build out of a childish situation of “accidentally kissing him” to confuse her friend. Really good ethics in this book and overall just a cute book.

the grumpy x sunshine trope might be my new favourite x

Another very cute and sciency story from Ali. She certainly has a type with men tho… big, bulky, giant, would probably knock shit over in a science environment just from breathing on it, or crush a glass tube thingy with his bare hands… but still somehow is a genius with only a few social deficiencies… The banter in this is great. I also love a good “fake dating” trope. Theres not a huge age gap, but i lol’d when she would poke fun at him for being older haha. The side characters were awesome as well, so much personality.
