I just knew I had to read a book by Ali Hazelwood!! This one have been on my tbr for so long and it took my brother gifting it to me on Christmas to finally dive into this story.
I am not disappointed! I've heard some people find it overrated but I think that must be mostly because of the hype it had on booktok.
I found it to be a really lovely and really funny rom-com and I'm definitely buying more books from this author!

In short i didn't like it but i did like the STEM setting and references it was great. The rest of it however was just not for me. It was extremely cliche and chessy and was very self aware of the fact. The ongoing sexual assault "joke" was not the vibe a little weird. I also hate misunderstandings, lies and when characters just assume things which made me hate it 50x more. It also could've been 50 pages shorter let's be real. Clearly i hated a lot in this book but if you're after a fake dating trope with some sciene and love cheesy cliche then go for it

It was a good book, but idk... it wasn't really my kind of book 😅🙈
It was funny and the story all in all was good and cute

Spoiler

but for me it was in the first 13 chapters a little bit boring, tbh... Everything went just really slow. Though then from chapter 17 until the end, I really started to like it very much 😄

. I can understand why some people loved the book, but it just wasn't all in all a book for me

Okay so I loved this overall. Adam is such a good bf but…. I found olive adorable but also annoying. For a scientist her inner thoughts made her seem like such an airhead. Miscommunication trop isn’t my favorite but they have cute moments and overall amazing chemistry. I was really happy with how things ended and ugh he is so perfect. Really fun fake dating, protective broody grump w/ bubbly naive sunshine. Very fun overall worth the read and has some really funny and tension filled moments
