This was a nice and easy rom com, it did have me laughing out loud a few times. I think what really hooked me was the main female lead having anxiety.

I'm sure a lot of us can relate, I wish the book had of covered more of her healing and dealing process.

3.5 stars /
this could be a 4 star read so bad, i’m not exactly sure why it isn’t. it’s got everything going on for it? i adored the characters and the romance, i loved the dental school backdrop (so realistic, it kinda hurt) and the struggles (that managed to hurt more?). a lot of it was incredibly personal to me, to the point where i needed to close the book and reassess myself just to be able to pick it up again.
and the writing was so easy to get into! so this is essentially a 4/5 star book, except it’s not for me(?) because i’m insane like that (?) i can’t explain it exactly, i just felt like there was a certain *thing* missing, which made it harder for me to connect to the story. it could just be my fatigue though, so who knows.
thank you to st. martin’s griffin for the arc.

“who’s your favorite person?”
she leaned in, pressing a smiling, happy kiss to his lips before answering. “you.”

This was not for me. I found it boring and cheesy. I didn't love the narrators, especially the female voice. I think this book was trying to do a lot and include a lot of "current" ways of being, which is fine, but it came off as unnatural. As someone who has dealt with anxiety, I found this a bit triggering. I just didn't love the main characters, they were so into each other so quickly. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the free preview in exchange for an honest review.

I was really exited to read this book because it was about women in stem and it had mental heath representation but this book was just kinda cheesy. The main characters went from being more than friends to being friends over and over again and it just boring.
