An Academic Affair
by Jodi McAlister
This was such a fun, and self aware, novel. Told in dual POVs from both Jonah and Sadie’s POV, and Jonah’s in true academic fashion is full of footnotes.
Jonah Fisher and Sadie Shaw have been academic rivals for thirteen years (and slightly unwilling housemates in a flat share for the last eight), and since they have the same PhD, they’re now competing for all the same jobs. When a full time position opens at a university in their specialities, they both have reasons to want it, other than to win. It’s in the same town as Jonah’s sister, who is suddenly a single mom to three going through a messy divorce and could use her brother nearby. Sadie has been financially and emotionally reliant on her older sister as long as she can remember, and sees the financial security of this job as necessary to proving she can handle life. So when the contract comes with a clause about partner hires, a marriage could solve the problem for both of them… or cause a whole lot more.
I recommend this to anyone who enjoys the following tropes: one bed, enemies to lovers, marriage of convenience, fake dating, longterm pining, he falls first (& harder).
Thank you to NetGalley for an eARC of this book.
