This book was fun, goofy and a brilliantly cheesy self-aware romcom, and it's one of the first books I've read in ages that I found hard to put down! I loved the characters dynamics and the chemistry was so believable and enjoyable to read.

Spoiler

The only reason I haven't quite given it 5 stars is purely just because of a small detail -which I am aware is personal to me for why it bugged me - and that is Olive's best friend Anh not having a reaction to finding out at the end of the book that Olive had been lying to her for months, I just found that a bit too unrealistic and I feel it would've added more depth to Anhs character if she had been given a scene to have a small conflict with Olive about this. But I am aware that I am more likely to be somewhat miffed by this small detail because of the nature of best friend that I am - if I were in Anhs shoes I would very much be upset 🥲. So I understand that the author may just have not pictured Anh as this type of friend in her mind, which is valid. Moving on to my favourite scenes of the book - which literally had me giggling and kicking my feet like a teenager again - the scenes in the first half of the book where Olive and Adam had to partake in some classic fake-dating trope activities, but the specific scenes where Olive had to sit on Adam's lap in the auditorium, and then go kiss him after he'd moved a truck, were SO GOOD and I am already looking forward to one day re-reading this book and getting to read those scenes again hahaha 😂 also the fact that Olive only realised how attractive Adam was after seeing him in a well-fitted basic black t-shirt is so real and I completely relate lmao 😂

This was the perfect book for me to read at this point in my current life - brilliant escapism and well-written enough to feel realistic in my head, and have me really rooting for the characters throughout the book 🥰 Also big shoutout to one of my best besties for recommending this book and for providing me with her copy to borrow 😊

4.75/5 ⭐
[NO SPOILERS]

this is a brilliant book! i love the storyline and all the characters! i would highly recommend for 18 year olds and above. just one thing, one thing that kinda made the book slightly less enjoyable is that its in third person. it would have been a perfect 5/5 if it was in first person. but i still surprisingly really enjoyed it nonetheless. i don't even have any interest in science, but this is still managed to be fantastic for me, from the start and all the way to the ending!

just a warning though, they have some age gap. the female main character is 26 and her male love interest is 34. not that much tbh but i know that there are people that wouldn't be okay with this so i'm typing this here anyway.
