• Está foi a leitura de Janeiro em conjunto com a Bestie e eu estava desejosa de o ler porque:
1 - favorito da comunidade em qualquer plataforma
2 - o facto da Olive ser demisexual.
Este último ponto foi sem dúvida o que mais me motivou.
• Depois dos meus 25 anos comecei a ponderar muito sobre mim mesma, romântica e sexualmente 🤔
Ao ler os excertos deste livro, sobre como a Olive se sentia em termos de atração por terceiros e da sua falta de sentimentos pelo Jeremy, senti pela primeira vez que lia algo com o que me identificava e foi fantástico debater isso com a Bestie ☺️
• Estava tão fascinada por essa conexão com a Olive que depois meio que me atrapalhei quando se deu o picante e na minha cabeça nenhum recetor "spicy time" se acendeu e fiquei desconfortável. (I have yet to find an Adam to snap that on me...) Mas a cena não foi má, quando ele levou a mão dela... 🤭
• Ironicamente, eu peguei neste livro pela Olive, mas não gostei dela 😅
Em rom-coms as protagonistas que detesto são aquelas que parecem umas baratas tontas afligidas. Falsos-namoros implicam mentiras, mas a Olive foi acumulando uma bola de neve delas. Miscommunication é uma trope que detesto e tantos monólogos na cabeça dela que podiam resolver tudo nunca foram ditos! Para uns cientistas, os dois faziam muitas suposições erradas um sobre o outro 🙄
• Gostei dos encontros para café e quando a Olive resolveu os seus problemas 💪
• O Adam não se tornou um book boyfriend para mim e acho que foi por aquela primeira impressão de que as suas palavras ponderadas pareciam estar a manipular a Olive, porque eu já sabia que ele estava apaixonado e ela também mudava de opinião mal ele dizia algo...
Claro que depois gostei de como ele era atencioso à sua própria maneira e respeitava a Olive sempre.
Quando ele começou a dizer gracinhas é que conquistou, porque homem calado e sem hobbies parecia ter falta de personalidade 😂
• Os amigos dos dois eram um pouco "too much" às vezes, mas ajudaram muito.

Olive convinces Adam Carlson the grumpiest professor on campus to pretend to be her boyfriend. Love the woman in STEM side of the story. Cute romance. One steamy section.

Hypothesis- because this is Star Wars fanfic I will hate it. 😅 Too bad the test results proved that hypothesis to be absolutely false.
And now I read everything she’s written before her book event in a couple weeks.
Also I did in fact read this in one sitting. Which wow. I need to read it again already.

I wanted to be a hater but sadly, I did enjoy it.
It was pretty predictable at times, the amount of times it was mentioned Adam was tall, and had broad shoulders and he towered over Olive (33) was overkill tbh, and at some parts I was genuinely thinking "what the fuck" because the things happening or the way Ms Hazelwood described things was very weird, but it kept me hooked and I had a good time regardless.

I love Adam without an argument. I understand why everyone was saying this as a $mut, because daaamn that was a long chapter. As a science student, it was nice to see something subject related because it felt familiar. I like the story, I do. But I kinda don't think it's a 5 star for me because I like it because the subject related to me, and I'm also a student. But if I forget about those stuff, I really don't have anything that I can be happy with. Yes I like Adam, but the story itself didn't felt right for me. I kinda expected more than this.

I had a good time with this. There were some of my fatal flaws that are typical in romance (man is so big, woman is so tiny & horribly cliche ending) but it didn’t completely ruin the story
