This is an enjoyable second-chance romance. It's slow burn, but it's needed for Clara and Teddy.
You feel the instant awkwardness between Clara and Teddy but I think Clara started overthinking things even before Teddy arrived as the visiting scholar, or rather the second she heard his name being mentioned.
I enjoyed the dual perspective between them as teens to now, it showed just how far they've come whilst achieving their goals/dreams all the while putting everything and everyone before them and their feelings. But, how it all ties together is perfect in my eyes. If you like nerdy humour, slow burn and second chances with a few spicy scenes, these characters and this book is for you.
