Thank you to Atlantic Books and NetGally for the eARC.
This is a debut contemporary romance book for fans of STEMisnist fiction. Our two leads have a work-place rivalry but find a common connection over a side project and a case of cute mistaken-identity follows.
I really liked the idea of this book and thought the cover was cute too. However, whilst I do expect some STEM aspects, this books was about 80% STEM with all the technical lingo to boot and only 20% romance. It was so very dry and very heavy on theoretical physics that I ended up skimming those parts. The romance itself didn't really kick off in earnest until about 60% through and then when it did it was 0-60mph and gave me whiplash. A redeeming feature was no 3rd act breakup which was a relief but by this point I was just ready for the book to end. A real shame as I had high hopes for this one. Maybe the authors next book will focus more on the characters and less on the science. But then again, those who work in STEM themselves might really enjoy that!
