if I wanted to read about how sad it is to be a queer woman in stem I would just read the news😭😭 or just experience my life 😭😭😭 I liked the premise of this and it was an okay story but I just found myself drifting off and not caring for a lot of it, like this was just fine. I think I'm realising that I don't enjoy romances that aren't rom-coms if it's a romance book (like if there's a sideplot romance maybe I will enjoy fits not funny but if the romance is the centre of the book then idc). also maybe historicals just aren't for me idk :/ I'm hesitant to rate this too harshly because if I knew it wouldn't be funny and would just be more dramatic/sad and also had the couple get together early and focus a lot of the story on them trying to translate a physics book idk if I would have picked it up 😭😭 I just don't like it when romances are marketed as romances and then they just focus on something else entirely (unless it's a single pov romance, then I love that!!!) and also them getting together so early was boring, 2.75 stars
