A solid if overly predictable romance with an unusual setting. The MC seemed overly unsure of herself and the constant pointing out of tropes wore on me, but it was a fun quick read.

this book was just so...*contented and blissful sigh* it def did what it was supposed to do, and did it a lot better than many of the very few romances ive read.

the love hypothesis was just so damn fun and enjoyable and entertaining and hilarious and squeal/giggle/sigh/swoon-inducing. the characters and their antics were delightful: dynamic olive and grumpy adam make an excellent pair and i loved them both individually and tgt. speaking of adam..dude might be one of my most fav male leads ever: the brains, secret pining, supportiveness, also respect for CONSENT!!!!! which is kinda shitty that it's so rarely seen in books!! and olive and her struggles were relatable 4 sho.

also rly liked the glimpse into academia and the depiction of all power plays and issues, like sexiam in STEM, sexual harassment, intellectual theft, abusive environment, etc; it was interesting to see the environment and all the inner workings directly from someone w/in that circle.

admittedly, the book could be predictable at times, but it's rly a non-issue when i got so much joy and happiness and giddiness from reading it. yes, this book wasnt perfect (i personally found the sex scene way too long lol), but it's rly a case of a great book w/ the right mood coming into my hands at the perfect time when i needed it most, making me excited to read out of sheer delight for the first time in ages, even becoming a future fav comfort read in the process, and that rly sealed the deal.

*ch. 16 adam's pov:
this was hot. and ok i did find ch.16 too long while reading the book but this was from adam's pov and it was just great to finally hear his thoughts. he adores olive so much : ( but also like bro u had 2 yrs what were u doing???? anyways ADAM FRIGGIN CARLSEN!!!!!! enough said

It was very good, the relationship and such. Veru fun read and first book in just a sitting. But it did feel at some places as a wattpad romance.  I also wish this had ended with a bit more of their relationship after the confession.
