Tropes:
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.
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.
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!

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!!

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.
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.
