It was so cute, peak academic rivals to lovers! I loved the characters and how their relationship evolved over the course of the book and how they saw themselves and each other in retrospect. I also really loved the tiny miscellaneous parts of the book like the incident report, and the receipt, it added to the world around them

objectively, this book should be a 3.25 — it’s very feminism / antisemitism 101, and rowan feels too much like a self-insert from someone who had a wildly different childhood than i did. like i just genuinely can’t imagine a world where people are that explicitly discriminatory against jewish people? i feel like most discrimination in today’s day and age is more implicit than anything. but also consider that neil is kind of my dream boy and i’ve also dealt with a lot of nostalgia about the high school and college experiences that will never be — so yeah i cried (several times) and it gets a bump up for that. one of those books where i completely understand why someone would say the technical elements aren’t perfect, and they’d be right! but solomon does capture that feeling of nostalgia so well, and that’s really what ya books are all about.

I found this to be a very cozy read. Perfect for a lazy Sunday. The characters are charismatic and have great chemistry, though you'd not enjoy this if you are into slow-burners. Made me laugh out loud several times.jjstoff's review against another edition
