In an effort to convince her best friend that she’s over a guy she was seeing, student Olive kisses moody and unapproachable professor Adam Carlson. Only she didn’t realise the random guy that she grabbed on the corridor was Adam and now she’s fake dating him. Or is she? Adam seems all too happy to go along with it too, for some reason. 

As always with Ali Hazelwood, it’s a lovely STEM romance with a bit of spice. I loved that he was as unsure as she was and that the science is always accurate enough not to annoy me as a fellow biologist!

What a cute book. It was a great way to kick of the month of love.
I enjoyed the STEM representation. Although I’m not in STEM, it was the path I was going to choose so to live vicariously through these characters were fun.
 I loved the side characters and their dynamics. It all felt very authentic and comfortable. 
Olive and Adam were a cute duo. I love “grumpy” and “misunderstood” men in books and Adam delivered. 
I enjoyed the slow burn of it all. It made their final moments to getter that much better. And I can’t wait to read more from Ali Hazelwood.

Oblivious Idiots, (not so) unrequited love. Love those.

I enjoyed this one a lot! It isn't something that rocked my world- but the story is good. It doesn't feel like it is dragged out, and it feels very well constructed. I read it with the bonus chapter which was really good. I'd love a POV of the last couple scenes in the main story from Adam's perspective. Overall, nice, not ground breaking, but I'll likely pick up another Ali Hazelwood.
