The only reason I finished this was for net galley.
This book was so slow and I hate Tom.
He’s a waking red flag. Not even just the childish crux of the enemies to lovers. Because god forbid he control himself or report a conflict of interest sometime in the last four years. Or the fact that he was in her phone controlling her dating life and housing situation. He is way too controlling and it is concerning. He makes everything about him and sucks at being a decent human.
Characters: 24
Plot: 30
Overall: 37
- enemies to lovers
- coworkers
- woman in stem
- forced proximity
- a controlling walking red flag
Save yourself the time and don’t read this and read The Love Hypothesis or Applied Electromagnetism instead. They hit a lot of the same tropes and stuff but actually have heroes that aren’t terrible.
