First, thank you to NetGalley for the eARC of An Academic Affair by Jodi McAlister in return for an honest review.
In this very entertaining slice of life romance novel we meet two perfect academic rivals, Jonah and Sadie, as they navigate their intertwining careers and hardships while simultaneously loving to hate each other.
I personally enjoyed every aspect of this book. It is most definitely a romance but in a very sweet, very smart and very heartwarming way. Told in dual POV (Jonah being my favorite POV) with added footnotes and witty snark, I loved the dive into academia as a career and the intense rivalry that it inspires in those who choose it. I felt as though all characters, not just the two main were well fleshed out and had lives of their owns that we got to peek into.
Worth the read if you love smart characters but also if you like
*rivals to lovers
*marriage of convenience (done with a realistic reason)
*only one bed
*he falls first
*very minimal (some would say non-existent) third act conflict
*slice of life vibes
Im really happy I got to read and review this one!
