I loved this book. I got super engrossed halfway through and considered skipping work today to finish it lol. The plot was fantastic, and I loved the relevant spin on women in STEM and their struggles. Adam was also a very lovable character. Olive was slightly annoying, but she had good and realistic motivations behind all her dumb decisions, unlike a lot of rom-com MCs, which I really appreciated. This book was addicting and had me grinning to myself. Loved it.

Content warning: it does have some super explicit sexual content, but I skipped those two chapters. Ali Hazelwood also has content warnings on her website, which I really appreciated knowing beforehand <3

A fun and quick read, but overall I found the storyline predictable, the characters boring, and the affirmative consent lacking
