 “I wish you could see yourself the way I see you" - Adam

Tropes:
Opposites Attract, He Falls First, Slow Burn, Fake Dating


I loved reading this book from beginning to end. The opening was hilarious and immediately drew me in, leaving me thoroughly engrossed until the final page. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I laughed throughout the book, making the reading experience truly enjoyable. Although the spice level was on the low side, the build-up more than made up for it. 

Olive is an incredibly selfless person who always puts the needs of others before her own, even when she knows she will be at a disadvantage.
For instance, she helps her best friend, Anh, pursue her crush, even though Olive used to have feelings for him too. This is where the fake dating comes in, but Olive did it for the sake of her friend. Additionally, there's a moment when she doesn't want to reveal to Adam what Tom said and tries to do to her because she's afraid he'll miss out on an important opportunity.
It's heartwarming to see how much Olive cares about the people she loves. 

I also found Adam's character interesting. He's a highly dedicated professor who takes his research seriously, which unfortunately doesn't make him very popular. However, he has many close personal relationships that speak volumes about how much he's respected for his work.
Sadly, not all of his friends have his best interests at heart—looking at you Tom. There were several hints that Tom wasn't kind, especially when Holden warned Olive about him. I was shocked when Olive's friends found out the truth about Tom.


Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed reading this book and I can't wait to read more books by this author!

I still love this book as much as I did the first time I read it!!! It’s sooooo good!!! Olive & Adam are just super adorable!! & I love them so much! Their story is inspiring & I love how they are there for eachother through the good & bad despite being in a "fake" relationship; that if they were honest was never fake at all, it was just an excuse to get together without fear of heartache! 
And I love Anh though she can be a little pushy, which is not my favorite trait. But Malcom is fantastic! & him & Holden getting together is the secret wish throughout the whole book!!

It was very cute, but definitely frustrating at times, especially when
Olive didn't tell Adam about Tom sexually harrasing her until she found proof
. Although, part of my frustration might be a result of me seeing too many of my own negative personality traits in Olive. Overall, it was a great read, and I wish it had been longer.

I loved TLH. It gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling.

 I have heard some people say it wasn’t for them because of a few writing errors and because the MC is portrayed as insecure. But that was what made me love the story. Because I am ambitious, but I am also an insecure person. I know what I want, but overthinking can often come in my way, and then I’ll always have my boyfriend and my friends to lean on, just like Olive. 

This isn’t a major spoiler, but it mentions a thing about Olive, that we have in common. 
And… just like Olive, movies where horses dies? It is a big no for me. It is too emotional you know?


So Yeah. I am giving this a 5 star review. I am so happy for not letting the ‘negative’ reviews hinder me from reading the book. Totally, and utterly, in love with how the storyline progressed.
