Overall, I did enjoy this book, but there were some parts of the book that I found myself skimming. It was a quick read and I thought that the romance was believable. I enjoyed the MMC more than the FMC, mainly due to his personal growth.

I liked that the geek culture that was promised was present, but it does not hinder the romance.

The majority of the side characters in the book were infuriating, especially Aiden’s mother and his ex. I’m glad they don’t reconcile - they were awful.

And a gripe I have with the cover: it’s not representative of the MCs - the characters are described with graying hair and Maggie is constantly described as disheveled.
