It’s a really nerdy(in the good kind of way) and totally loveable. If you want a sweet but kind enemies to Lovers Vibe but not quite enemies either, but something in between? This is the book. It has the sunny and broody romance.

Hypothesis- because this is Star Wars fanfic I will hate it. 😅 Too bad the test results proved that hypothesis to be absolutely false. 

And now I read everything she’s written before her book event in a couple weeks.

Also I did in fact read this in one sitting. Which wow. I need to read it again already.

It's the first time I'm giving a contemporary book 5 stars and believe me I'm not exaggerating it's literally the first. Some people might say that it's not that good but for me it's perfect maybe because I needed it at the time but this book gave me everything I wanted and I'm in love. I loved the main character so much she felt so real to me and relatable. Also as a science lover I enjoyed the academic conversations so much. Let's talk about the romance which was one of the best fake dating tropes I've ever seen the way the author put so much emotion into it also making Adam the love interest this mysterious aloof figure but also this deeply warm hearted man I can't talk enough about the feelings this story gave me however simple it was. Definitely recommend to everyone.

While I'm not usually one for romance books this was a fun break! Also a good look into how

Spoiler

influence plays into the world of higher education and how even a very high achieving and moral person can get sucked into a messy situation

I'd give this delightful slow-burn a 5 except that the sex scene (there is only one) is utterly OOC and the age gap and power dynamics (professor-student) borderline creepy. Also there are one too many "hey reader, did you catch that? Huh? Huh?" moments. But otherwise the characters are believable, hilarious and relatable, the story engaging, and the romance itself sweet.
