  • The sex scenes in this book were so unbelievably bad and cringey that I almost stopped reading the book entirely. 
  • If you take a shot every time Adam's bigness is mentioned you will die of alcohol poisoning by page 35
  • The love interest is named Adam Carlsen because Adam Driver would be too obvious. 
  • Olive might be in STEM, but she is dumb as hell. By the end of the book I was incredibly frustrated with all her decisions and leaps in logic. Her primary trait of unfathomable self doubt was equally frustrating to read. I know this might be a common character flaw in the real world, but something about it's portrayal in this novel made me want to claw my eyes out. 
  • Credit where it's due: the Olive and Adam had good chemistry in their dialogue. If only it wasn't sandwiched in everything else.
