I have the paperback but I also used my Spotify premium to listen to this while I worked.
I somewhat empathise with Olive, I'm not in science but I am a woman in tech, precisely only one of two women techs in my company at the moment. And she's on a different part of the company to me so don't work that closely together at all. I've never faced the issues that Olive has to. I don't have to do a PhD (thank god) and I don't have to present very often. I do answer to customers and the business so I do have pressure to be right. Women are judged 5x more than men. It's evident in some aspects of my job. I've had casual sexism and some not so casual sexism.
What I'm saying is I could relate to the FMC and thus I feel this book worked well for me. Their romance was sweet and almost non existing it grows carefully and slowly at least it felt like it when I was internally thinking OH MY GOD get it together.
I can completely see the hype of Ali Hazelwood and I'm excited to get to the other books I also own soon. Hopefully.
