Olive, a Ph.D. candidate, finds herself in a fake dating situation with a professor after kissing him in front of her friend so her friend would think she was over her ex. What follows is a funny, sweet romance about unexpected love and the brutality of academia.
I really enjoyed this book. I don't know much about the world of academia, but Hazelwood did a wonderful job of making sure the reader understood what this setting is like. Olivia was an incredible perspective to read from. She really is a funny, grounded woman with a hilarious inner dialogue. Adam was sweet and charming and totally unexpected. I kind of wish he was a harder shell to crack since his reputation makes him out to be a hardass. But otherwise, this book was a joy to read. It was sappy and cute, and just what I needed on a Friday.
TW: blackmail, slut shaming, sexual harassment

This book was so good but I don’t think I have ever had a book that made me physically nauseous with stress due to miscommunication. I had to pause and walk a lap before coming back because it was painful at points.

I really have enjoyed the other books by this author but this book was somewhat disappointing. I feel like most of their problems could’ve been solved by simple communication. Also the sexual harassment that occurred sounds like something out of a made-for-TV movie, or one of those old-school sexual harassment training videos, totally over-exaggerated. In modern times, sexual harassment is so much more subtle. I also found it super convenient that she happened to have her phone on record when it happened
