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.

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 is my second Ali Hazelwood book and I'm just as pleased with this read as I was with the first one. It was a beautifully put together story, and though I'm really not keen on the misunderstanding trope, this was nicely done altogether. 

I loved to see Olive fall in love with Adam, and how entirely patient Adam was for her, and how entirely sweet her friendship with Malcolm and Ahn was, and well, everything. 

It was a great story, in a great setting, and as far as romances go, supremely sweet. Highly recommended.

Enjoyed the plot a lot! I read it so quickly and will gladly buy the book to add to my home collection of books. A lot of complaints online for this book is that it reads like a fanfiction which is true. However, I do love fanfiction and the cringiness of it. The development of the characters and their relationship is what kept me reading. There was a specific spicy chapter (or 2) that I really enjoyed but can make you icky if you're not into things like that. The only issue I really had with the characters were the age gap. It isn't a bad age gap because they're adults but is unusual if it's not something you're comfortable with.
