Oof- i am so sorry please dont be mad at me. It was an alright read for me despite so many 5 star reviews. This book is medium paced, easy to follow and read and overall a comfy lighthearted read.


To ease your anger let me share my favs. I love Adam's and Olive's chemistry together. They connect with each other well and they love teasing each other. Adam is a perfect fake boyfriend and a gentleman. He always cares about Olive's feelings than his own. He always feeds Olive who always forget her meals bc of her busy, student life, broke life schedule. Who doesn't want a boyfriend that feeds and cares about your feelings? And Olive is all about that student life i love her story. The hotel chapter was fire too. 

Now lets talk about the thing that made my review lose stars. It was the constant description of Adam's physical body. Like i get it HE'S BIG. HE'S TALL. HE'S LARGE. Stop talking about it in every chapter. Besides that, professor student relationship, makes me uncomfy and maybe i'm not into fake dating tropes. The storyline and plot twist was so predictable. I didn't squeal or fangirl or whatsoever. The chapter where Adam deals with Tom made me cringe. Tbh i wanted Olive to deal w her own fights. Maybe I just had this high expectation for 5 star reads.


But pls don't listen to me if u are considering on reading this. Im just one of the few that thinks its ok ok book. It's a booktok sensation, it has mostly 5 stars so if ur into cute, fake dating, close proximity, academia trope then go for it! ❤️
