CUTE NERD LOVE STORY!!! This had me kicking my feet and giggling @ the cafe! (I stayed way past my bedtime to finish!!!)

Though I was already out of college when this came out, it really captured the feelings I had in those last days of high school way back in 2015... Which makes me think either some things are universal, or the author was also a nerd who graduated high school in the 2010s.

Also I've never been to Seattle but now that I know there's a chewing gum wall I might have to reconsider visiting... Truly one of the grossest things I have been forced to learn about!

i definitely need to read more academic rivals to lovers stories
