This book was so so good. First of all, I love Olive and I know life as a PhD student cannot be easy. All the characters were lovable, and Adam is really just a sweetheart. A grumpy, antagonistic sweetheart. It’s so clear he got it bad. Watching their relationship unfold was so delicious. 

Spoiler

I have never rooted more for a couple to fuck, one, and two, Tom being a cunt completely made my mouth drop. That’s my fault for having faith in men. I didn’t know what the conflict would be but I was not expecting that.

5.0

I loved TLH. It gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling.

 I have heard some people say it wasn’t for them because of a few writing errors and because the MC is portrayed as insecure. But that was what made me love the story. Because I am ambitious, but I am also an insecure person. I know what I want, but overthinking can often come in my way, and then I’ll always have my boyfriend and my friends to lean on, just like Olive. 

This isn’t a major spoiler, but it mentions a thing about Olive, that we have in common.

And… just like Olive, movies where horses dies? It is a big no for me. It is too emotional you know?

So Yeah. I am giving this a 5 star review. I am so happy for not letting the ‘negative’ reviews hinder me from reading the book. Totally, and utterly, in love with how the storyline progressed.

About the SA/S. Harrassment scene

Spoiler

There is hinting that the MC must give the person who threatens her what they want in order to manage/get her own wishes fulfilled. It is not very physical, but it is vocal. It doesn’t say «I am going to SA you», but it hints that she must give them what they want and need.

About the S. Content:

Chapter 16 - it is hot.

This was a really cute story that made me believe in love again and believe in kind guys who respect the wishes of their partners. I will definitely be reading more Ali Harwood books :)

The only thing I didn’t really like: I wasn’t a fan of Adam’s perspective that much only because I’m not a fan of “dirt words” in sex scenes as it were. And while there aren’t any throughout the book, those are in Adam’s section.
