DNF at page 204.

I don't dnf books a lot, but I just couldn't take another page of this book. 
I just couldn't keep reading about how tall and muscular the main love interest was... Seriously like every two sentences she mentions his height. Like I get it, he's tall. You don't need to keep mentioning it.

Anyway I can understand why other people like this book, but it's just not for me I guess...

This was a nice fluffy read to sink my teeth into! I thought that Olive and her overarching dilemma of worrying that anyone she loves will eventually somehow leave her were written rather compellingly; the reader could definitely understand her hesitations in admitting her true feelings to Adam and sympathize with her internal struggles over doing so. Adam was also a great love interest, as I never cease to admire when the MMC who has been in love with the FMC for ages and is finally getting an opportunity to be with her still gives her space, follows her lead, and refrains from sharing the depth of his feelings for her, essentially operating as if everything is business as usual even though it is torture for him. This type of I’ll-take-whatever-she-chooses-to-give-me MMC is a Hazelwood staple that does not go unnoticed or unappreciated, especially when there are so many romance books featuring overly possessive, basically misogynistic male leads who are somehow supposed to be read as caring and empowering when they are actually toxic and harmful. I would definitely recommend this novel if you are looking for an unproblematic romance with a happy ending!

I just couldn’t get past the premise of this book and the few scenes that absolutely were not okay conduct between a professor/student.

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.

This book had me kicking my feet and giggling every three pages. I could not put it down. Thank you to Ali Hazelwood for putting in overtime at the slay factory so I could make this book my entire personality for the past 26 hours.
