All of Ali Hazelwood's books are a must-read for me! I always devour her stories and have a great time, so this book was no exception!

You'll love this book if you love:

• STEMinist romance
• Grumpy, broody MMC with "you hurt her, you die" energy
• Fake dating

There is definitely a noticeable formula to Hazelwood's books: A bubbly and witty woman in academia is placed in forced proximity with a colleague who she initially hates then learns to love. Then cue a second man who she trusted but turns out to be a vile despicable person to turn her life upside down. But, of course, things turn out great in the end. 
I love it! Sometimes, it's comfortable to read a book and know where it's going without knowing where it's going at the same time. And, as they say, if it's not broke, don't fix it! 
I wonder if, perhaps, my affinity for Hazelwood's books come from the fact that I initially started really getting into romance through fanfiction. There's something familiar, cozy, and nostalgic about that fanfic feel that just hits right for me.

I loved it! Olive is my inner voice. Like, seriously her brain and my own were so coordinated throughout this. I mean, the lying and the insecurities and the constant anxiety drove me crazy but I loved her anyway.
I was so frustrated with both of them because they were the most idiotic, lovable retards who couldn't see what was standing right before their stupid blind eyes! But I loved it.
The banter was top notch. And Adam was such a simp and that was just... chef's kiss.
The sex scene was so beautifully awkward and clumsy and sweet... Loved it. Though I did wonder about some of the bodily dimensions through it all because some things were just goddamm scary, but I'm willing to overlook it because everything was so them.
Definitely want to read more from this woman.
