Descrição da editora
THE SUNDAY TIMES, NEW YORK TIMES AND TIKTOK SENSATION, AND SOON TO BE A PRIME ORIGINAL FILM STARRING LILI REINHART AND TOM BATEMAN! Read it before you see it with Ali Hazelwood's original swoony STEM romance novel - featuring a bonus chapter from Adam's perspective!
A fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction.
As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships - but her best friend does, and that's what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive is dating and well on her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees.
That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor - and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford's reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive's career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support and even more unyielding...six-pack abs.
Suddenly their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.
Críticas de clientes
Comforting.
Comforting is the best word to describe this rom-com. Maybe there is no BIG PLOT-TWIST, but that is what makes me love this book. Is comforting to read, to see Olive catching feeling without noticing it. To already know that Adam was the bathroom guy and that he was already in love with her since the start of the mess. To know that everything was going to be fine but still feel so nervous reading all of their lack of communication (especially from Olive’s side). I 100% recommend this book to anyone who likes romance, is such a enjoyable experience.
I need to mention the fact that Olive is such a relatable character, her struggles are real and common things, and I’m happy that not all of them were love related, but also about her work and past.
To finish, the representation is on point. No stereotypes at all, Malcom is now one of my favorite bisexual characters and Olive experience with sex indicating that she is on te asexual spectrum is perfect.
I absolutely adore this book in every single way.
But I do have to talk about something. During the sexual and physical interactions between Olive and Adam, something that really bothered me was how Adam was always complimenting her “delicate” and “small” traits. How small she was comparing to him. I’m just sad that all romance books picture the girl as tiny, skinny, delicate… always pictured as perfect to fit the beauty standards. That is the only criticism that I have. Besides that, love the book. 💙
