emotional funny

4.0

Friends to lovers, he falls first, dual POV STEM romance, with mental illness rep and a badass girl friend group. I think the FMC’s anxiety was handled in a respect and accurate way. But genuinely, the amount of miscommunication needed to advance this plot for almost 350 pages is just too high for me. I know that some of this is anxiety logic, which felt accurate, but some of it just made Harper seem so dense and made me frustrated with her. But overall, I loved the banter and the way it tackles sexism and internalized ableism.

4.0

definitely a little cheesy at times as other reviews have mentioned, but that only added to me liking it. I went into this with little to no expectations and I think that overall helped because I liked it way more than I thought I was going to. I enjoyed the anxiety representation and the discussions that are had regarding Harpers struggles with it. I do wish there was more of a discussion between Harper and Dan at the end about the things that were said to one another rather than automatic forgiveness because they love one another, but I they do seem like the types to have that kind of conversation so in my mind it just happened off page.
