This book explores themes of sexual abuse, academic pressure, women in STEM, and the demisexual experience in a good way, but there were just parts of the story that felt gross and I couldn’t get past.
Definitely a romance, definitely fanfic-ish.

I couldn’t love it.
Like why did Adam like Olive? What made him like her for two consecutive years, when he never even spoke to her once, other than that awkward talk in the bathroom and after the kiss? It makes him look like a stalker.
How many time is Olive going to complain or describe how large and antagonistic Adam was. It became repetitive. We get it he is tall and perfect, but isn’t the nicest person in the world, no need to repeat it so much.
I don’t want to say much about it, as to not spoil anyone the story, but at some point it was pretty obvious how he felt for her. Like there is no way Olive was that dense.
Lastly, why are her friends so awful? Specifically Anh. She was ridiculously annoying, and for someone who was constantly described as Olive best friend, and the person that understood her the most, Anh failed to realize when Olive was uncomfortable, sad, and in absolute distress. In other words, when Olive needed her the most she was oblivious to it. Her friends didn’t add much to the story. They were there for decoration.
Also, wtf is wrong with having freckles?
This book was a mess, and it makes me sad because i kind of liked how it started, until she gave the lamest excuse for having kiss Adam, it went downhill from there.
