4.25/5
A fluffy, light-hearted and self aware romance and just what I needed after a heavy time recently. Olive starts fake dating unapproachable and antagonistic professor Adam to convince her best friend she's over a guy.
- This romance made me laugh in all the right ways. It's super tropey and constantly points this out. It's ridiculous but in a very fun and enjoyable way. It's a break from reality but whilst also addressing reality.
- The grumpy/sunshine dynamic was in full force here with Olive and Adam and it was predictably cute to watch their relationship deepen. The side characters were fun too in their own ways. I also enjoyed how the narrative didn't dismiss asexuality as a thing and discussed it sensitively.
- Nothing in this book surprised me. The plot is super predictable and I saw every single plot point coming but it didn't really matter. What the book did is less important than how and how I came away feeling "You know, that was super cute and fun!"
I'm going to dig deeper into Hazelwood's works and see if anything else catches my eye. If you need a pick me up book to make you feel better, try this warm and humourous book.
