What I liked best about this book was the concentration on Anna’s job as a cosmetic chemist and all the STEM concentrations, and the references to nerdy pop culture icons like Star Wars and LOTR. Anna also has a Grandpa who tells groan-inducing one-liners that are actually very charming.

. If you can suspend your disbelief with some of Anna’s actions and just go with it, you’ll enjoy this affordable, light and easy read.

This read like a YA romance and if I was interested in or liked YA romance then I’d pick up a book categorized as such.

This was hands down the *worst* narration I’ve ever endured for the sake of a story. The narrators cadence was stilted, unnatural, and grating.

The awful narration combined with the frustratingly immature female lead and juvenile writing made this a mediocre read/listen.

Marco is the reason for the three stars. I absolutely loved him. Anna on the other hand! I like strong female characters but I’m fine with tragic backstories or some wavering self doubt because hey, we’re all human. Anna is not that. Even though she’s supposed to be super smart and great at her job, I couldn’t stand that in front of a guy who hardly knows she exists, she’s reduced to a bumbling, fumbling mess. It dragged on way too long. I enjoy an insta-love trope, but declaring your love after one conversation and then still being “in love” after years with no further advancement in your relationship is a bit much. Still, I loved Marco and his patience and for that, it was eventually a good read.
