This was my second Ali Hazelwood, and it did not disappoint! Such a cute fluffy rom-com that also had my heart aching at points.
The grumpy x sunshine dynamic is adorable, the fake dating trope will always be one of my favourites, and the developing friendship between Olive and Adam was a delight to read from the set-up in the prologue to the resolution in the epilogue. There is a tiny bit of miscommunication in there, which I don't really like usually, but to be honest I'd have also done the same in Olive's shoes.
I loved the academia setting and the themes explored relating to women in STEM. I loved the obscene number of references to Adam's height (seriously guys he's tall). I loved the light & witty tone, it is exactly my sense of humour. I was kicking my feet & squealing at the cuteness of some moments. It's light on the spice for a romance (not a negative by any means) but what's there is very intimate.
I ate this up in a single sitting and it led to me reading literally all of her other books straight after. Wholeheartedly recommend this to fans of fun romances.

i just got tired of olive lying all the time to everyone.
