"I will not be a footnote. I'm the whole damn book."
What a fiery pair Emmy and Ryan are. I loved how Emmy could always put Ryan in his place and show him that things were most definitely not so easy for those outside the well funded science departments, or the highly educated, straight, white, male demographic. Ryan, we love a man who does his homework, puts in the effort, and does the extra credit. How much pleasure he took from Emmy's magnetism, and ensuring her overall pleasure was *chef's kiss*. I was dying for then to get together and once they did it was straight fire.
The overall setting was a love letter to working in academia/higher education/non-profits and all of the little quirks that come with the territory. (Almost) everything is done on a shoe string and everyone pitches in to get the job done.
