Cute, fun, doesn't take itself too seriously. Good book for getting you out of a reading slump if you like grumpy-meets-happy romances with an academia twist.

This book is a solid two for me. There were just a lot of issues that I had with the book that are most likely me specific. Things were done in a mostly alright way. The story either felt really bland or too intense and there was no inbetween. The characters also felt very one sided after a few chapters.

Friends who came with me on the camping trip where I read this in 24 hours know how I despise this book. I'll keep my review short mainly because I don't want to waste my digital breath, but this book continues to solidify that Booktok books and romance novels are not for me.

The positives here are that Hazelwood wrote a very easily digestible novel that was fun to yell and complain about, although that doesn't mean it was good. Also, this book is based off of Reylo fanfiction and I think Adam Driver is hot so that was fine by me.

My biggest issue here is that miscommunication does not constitute a plot, much less the foundation for a cute and healthy relationship. I sort of actively hated Olive for the whole book because I thought she was stupid. If the two love interests communicating in a healthy manner means you wouldn't have a story, I don't want to read what you came up with. Sorry!

While that was my #1 issue, I also didn't enjoy the big big guy/little bitty girl trope being shoved so forcefully down my throat. I'm also not a prude by any means (I mean if this is Adam Driver fanfic I better be rewarded for my suffering), but having one 30 page long sex scene seemed unbalanced compared to the relative chasteness of the rest of the book.

Okay, I'm done now.

Knowing this Originated from fanfic helped a lot. I do think this particular romance did a much better connection from the start then some of the previous works. It was a fun rollercoaster that left me wishing for just a touch more!
