This book felt a little choppy and rough around the edges. There were scenes that were out of place or held no meaning, and the story didn't flow as well as I would have liked. But it was very spicy and entertaining, so an overall positive experience.

Spice level: 🌶🌶🌶
I'll definitely admit that this story felt a tad bit formulaic, but that's also the reason why I chose to read a rom com in the first place. This one in particular had me giggling and laughing almost nonstop. This book goes heavy on the academia, and I think it delivers well. I personally feel like I have a lot in common with Elsie, and all other character are super endearing as well. For this I give the book 5 stars.
