A fun and quick read, but overall I found the storyline predictable, the characters boring, and the affirmative consent lacking

Fabulous, show-stopping, never-been-done-before (by that I mean done at least a million times but not in this way). I love a good man-pines-over-a-girl-who-has-no-idea-the-depth-of-his-feelings-for-her moment. Grumpy × sunshine. All the fun things. 

Also, also, women in STEM. What a novel concept (not really, but its nice to see it in the romance genre, or ANY genre, but I digress).

4.75/5 ⭐
[NO SPOILERS]

this is a brilliant book! i love the storyline and all the characters! i would highly recommend for 18 year olds and above. just one thing, one thing that kinda made the book slightly less enjoyable is that its in third person. it would have been a perfect 5/5 if it was in first person. but i still surprisingly really enjoyed it nonetheless. i don't even have any interest in science, but this is still managed to be fantastic for me, from the start and all the way to the ending!

just a warning though, they have some age gap. the female main character is 26 and her male love interest is 34. not that much tbh but i know that there are people that wouldn't be okay with this so i'm typing this here anyway.

I loved this book it gave me major anxiety towards the ending but then it ended up getting better it was really good i loved how they were together and how everyone around them knew they were in love but they had yet to admit it to themselves and eachother I definitely think this book has a 50 50 of storyline and romance it wasn't all about romance and it wasn't all about the story behind the romance i normally am a 100 % romance kinda person so to enjoy a book that had 50% romance and 50% story was crazy new and fun I definitely give this book four stars though⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🥹🥹🥹😍😍😍❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

5.0

Oh my gosh, this book is easily 5 stars. I have no clue how there's a debate on this book. Anyone who loves a (slightly spicy) romance should pick this book up immediately. From the fake dating to the secret pining, this book has so many *chef's kiss* tropes. I don't know how it took me so long to finish this book because when I did open it, I couldn't put it down. If I'd had more spare time, I would've for sure finished this book in a week max. This book is just... it's amazing. If you're looking for a good, not stereotypical romance, this is the one you need to grab.

Sort of spoilery review here:
I really just wanted to take a moment to talk about diverse this cast is!! The main character is demisexual (me 2 girl), her best friend is Vietnamese, her other best friend is presumed to be bisexual (also me 2), her advisor is presumably Turkish. like the cast is just so diverse which is so nice to see. All too often do books just feature a bunch of generic white people so it was nice to see a good mix of everyone in this cast!


My opinion on how spicy this book is:
There's only one part of the book that features smut, however it is pretty graphic. I have put as a warning that the smut is graphic because it is, but it doesn't last for very long. I honestly think there was less smut in this book than in any of the Emily Henry books I've read. That being said, use your noggin and do what's best for you!!

A sweet, laugh out loud, overall pretty perfect romance novel, with a unique and convincing setting, plenty of relatable observations about academia, and numerous winks to the reader. Also I liked the hypotheses at the start of each chapter giving a lil preview. Can't give 5 stars only because I wasn't always convinced by the dialogue—LOTS of discussing Starbucks drinks and some clumsy terms of endearment.
