This book was better than I thought it would be
I have to admit the first half of the book I was quite bored and was skimming over bits where I just did not care, but I WAS invested in the romance, very much had me rooting for Adam and olive. One thing I didn't like was that it felt like Olive's whole dead mum thing was an afterthought that just got thrown in there because of course every main character has to have a dead parent, but honestlyyy other than that- it was a solid romance.
There were moments I was on the edge of my SEATT like there were some real scandalss
Like when she was FINALLY falling for him and she told Malcolm and he was right behind her??!!?!? Crazy🥵 but then they played it off that he thought she liked JEREMY? And that was just nooooot it
And also I sooooo wanted her to just tellllllllllll ADAM ABOUT TOM I WAS THINKING OMFG BITCH TF BFFR TELL HIM ALREADY WJAT IS WRONG WITH YOU.
And also I was really really into their relationship by the end they're really cute! Some of their recurring jokes maybe could've been dialed down but there were times where I was like wow this feels like such a real conversation I'm so happy for these smart people
Like when they're in the apartment after Tom insults her and she's crying and HES COMFORTING HER AND HUGGING HER SO CUTE that whole apartment arc in general was so good
I'm also SO GLAD that Olive and Adam actually have LIVES like outside of eachother, which a lot of romance books forget to include 💀
I'm ALSO so happy that Olive is a NORMAL 5'8 GIRL and not a 4'9 curvy sunshine happy stickers girl like half the other female protagonists in romance (I'm looking at th Zara from the fine print)
ANYWAYS😡 this book is good and I recommend, second half had me hooked🧪🥼🔭🔬👩🔬👨🔬
