The story between Adam and Olive is so cute! All the things they do and the reference that it’s turning into the stereotypical romance plot by the characters was so funny. I love their relationship
and the fact that they had met before when Olive was applying
. Even though there is an age gap it’s still quite cute. There was a quite graphic sex scene but it was kind of necessary to show the development of their relationship.
I like that there wasn’t really any point in the story when they hated each other but I kind of wished there was a bit more of it. Tom’s betrayal at the end was appalling the way he treated Olive and i’m a bit annoyed she didn’t realize she had taped it earlier
It was so cute and i loved it so much!

I did not expect to like this book as much as I did but honestly I had such a good time reading it. There were times where I literally wanted to jump up and down squealing when reading this book. I loved the setting and the characters and the banter it all just worked together so well.
There was a miscommunication that led to a third act break up and as overused and annoying as that trope is I didn't even mind it. The fact that I didn't even mind the presence of my least favorite tropes is really telling of how much I like this book.
I think the fact that this was originally a fanfiction is what made me enjoy it even more. I love fanfiction and when I was reading certain parts of the book I could definitely identify the fanfiction influence which was so fun. This was just such a lovely, well developed, feel good book and I'm definitely gonna read more books by the author.

I finally listened to this book!! This has also been on my TBR for the longest. Olive was such a fun character. I loved the Stem incorporation. Adam although very grumpy but I liked him.  It did feel a bit long but overall I did enjoy the story.

This book made me laugh so much! It was a bit silly from time to time, but easy for me to overlook because I loved the characters so much!
