if you loved this book i am urging you to please go on wattpad or ao3 because you NEED to have your fanfic phase!
the MMC was so flat literally his whole personality is being swedish???
tbh the only reason i finished this book was because it was small and because of all the adam carlsen and olive's cameos

oh and the main characters say they like BDSM, is the BDSM in the room with us?

A flop for me. Boring and unrealistic. The main characters lack of confidence and “shy, lonely girl” personality reminds me of the “not like other girls” character from every YA romance of the 2010s. The final act conflict is also pretty stupid.

I loved this story so much. The social anxiety and fear of failure was written so well it could have come from my own brain. I thought the characters were lovable and real, and the problems they experience valid. 
Minor spoiler

also LOVED the easter egg for The Love Hypothesis!
