Such a cute book! I didn't love it as much as The Cheat Sheet, but it was cute, low-stakes, tropey, and lighthearted. 

I enjoyed the banter and how freaking cute Derek was with Nora. And Nora's tenacity was so fun to read about.

I did get a tad annoyed with Nora as time, when her cuteness felt a bit too performative (I get it. You're quirky. But you're also a professional.) It also felt a tad too lusty at times and I wanted to see more as to why they loved each other so much as college student besides just great compatibility. But that's just me and I can see why people loved the book.

All in all, super cute, super quick, and I finished it in less than a day! It was a nice break from the heavier fantasies I've been reading.
