It was ok, didn't live up to the hype for me though.
My friend and I love this book and we can’t stop talking about it. I think we have read it at least five times each. We love Adam Carlsen and the humor in the book. Can only say good thing about this book. And maybe I like it more because of my friend but I promise it is a good book if you love romances
A really cute and funny love story. No surprises and at times a bit slow in the story. But I definitely enjoyed it a and a perfectly feel good story. One would have a heart of stone to not fall a bit for Adam.... Or feel the heat in a specific chapter.
ADORED this book and the narrator was very enjoyable to listen to.
This book mixed my love for slowburn romance with my undying love for all things science. I highly recommend this read to anyone who feels the same!
Honestly I wasn’t sure what to expect because there was so many mixed reviews. But this book was truly so good. I really enjoyed how light and easy of a read it was !
Absolutely loved this book!
Maybe have bonus chapter guy voice ML parts throughout. Sometimes it is difficult to tell who is taking between Olive and Ahn. The book gives an interesting perspective on the world of academia. It is almost completely unregulated and ruthless. Full of scandals and the angst of dating. And this depicts how good *** can be. The quirks are somewhat relatable in the characters.
Romcom in a book- I loved it!!
It’s a good book. I love how everybody is so smart and intelligent. Everyone seems to be very educated, whereas and some books there’s a dumb, naïve woman who doesn’t know her self, and just falls until love so easily. I love how academia was introduced to this book along with romance.
I seriously don't understand the buzz over this book. The characters are really boring and I don't feel any connection to them at all while reading. Olive is an adult but acts like a cringy 15 year old through out the whole book and it made me uncomfortable. I couldn't even finish the book because it was so stereotypical and boring. Not for me
I stayed up until 5:46am finishing this book in one sitting. It was completely worth getting admonished by my acupuncturist/naturopath later on that day when I confessed to her my sleepless sins during my weekly acupuncture appointment, lol. 4.5 stars ✨
Fun book. Very enjoyable.
I don’t read a lot of contemporary romances, but I really liked this. Faking dating with the guy falls first
Slow burn, sweet rom-com
incredible read. didn't want to put down.
I really enjoyed this book. A very satisfying romance, with the fresh take of being in a graduate school environment. I really enjoyed the characters, especially Adam and Ahn.
A nice vacation romance. Very sweet and predictable. Stretches too long…
MUST LISTEN TO/READ. I read a lot this is one of those books that’s complex, interesting, and still a great love story. I’ve actually re listened to this one which is a rarity. Trust me… if you like Romance this is a great one.
i absolutely adore this book, the narrator does such a great job. she made it so enjoyable to listen to, i highly recommend this book
Amazing good great!
If you're into academia, science, romance, and realistic sexual chemistry this book is for you.
Loved it! Can’t believe I waited so long to read this.
I LOVED THIS BOOK! There were times when I was frustrated with Olive but 99% of the time I was screaming(for joy), happy, crying, FREAKING OUT. But mostly swooning over Adam Carlsen. Her writing was so relatable and I literally didn’t want to put the book down but at the same time was forcing myself to put the book down so that it wouldn’t end so quickly. LOVE LOVE LOVED! Will recommend to all my friends. I need more!
I wasn’t sure about this book in the beginning but became absolutely obsessed and wish it had not ended! ! Read it!!!!
I’ve only ever heard good things about this book, so… am I missing something here?? I forced myself to keep going even though I was bored throughout the entire story, holding onto a thin thread of hope thar it would get better. And it didn’t. The characters were so bland; I couldn’t care less about any of them. The storyline was so nothing. Every “big event” that happened was so anticlimactic and blown past so quickly. This didn’t feel like a romance one bit. I really wanted to love this book.
Amazing book. Such a funny cute book!
Loved it! Not a huge fan of the narrator, but she grows on you.
I love every second of this book. New favorite!
This book was soooooo good! Really enjoyed it! I went to graduate school and relived some moments by listening to it!
The narrator was EXCELLENT! Enjoyed the book immensely, even though Olive’s utter cluelessness irritated me to no end. I absolutely LOVED Adam, Malcolm and Holden.
I could not stop once I started… had me begging for more and just when you think things could not get anymore dramatic the author throws in another cliffhanger. 10 out of 10 for me… sad the read is over.
a fun funky fresh read

When a fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction, it throws one woman's carefully calculated theories on love into chaos.
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 on her way to a happily ever after was always going to be tough, scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting woman, 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 he agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire and Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support (and his unyielding abs), their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion.
Olive soon discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.

I got her fired. Okay, so I’d had a bad day and took it out on a bystander in a pizza shop. But there’s nothing innocent about Ally Morales. She proves that her first day of her new job in my office, after being hired by my mother. So, maybe, her colorful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine’s offices that have felt like a prison for the past year.

Audible.com reviews, amazon reviews.
I caught myself smiling so many times in traffic while listening to this audiobook. What a pleasant surprise. A delightful romcom, with all the tropes you want, but with lots of personality. A heroine you can empathize and learn to like, as she is smart, funny, lovable and human. Adam is as realistic as a book hero can be and you learn to love him as Olive learns too. Super recommend! Light, funny, a little sexy and a good time.

This book has a lot of predictable tropes but I love the fresh take of the love story in an academic setting and themes of power and consent.
I enjoyed how light and easy the book was to listen to, as well as the humour. I was not expecting the ending at all, but my oh my was it good.
This book was so intriguing, entertaining, amazing, and I already want to reread it. The narration was so great and Callie did an amazing job of showcasing the different characters. I cannot wait for the next book in the series if this book was anything to go by and it was definitely a good recommendation.

Loved the book, just like I loved the other two in the series. It had enough scientific terminology, and just the right amount of romance to my liking. The narration was great and did complete justice to the writing.
I liked this book for many reasons. The scientific setting on campus. The way the book starts with the prologue her being silly in a bathroom. Vulnerable. Then goes into a random kiss in the first chapter. It wasn’t love at first sight or swooning over a man from a far. The storyline fit perfectly with who the characters were. Of course loved the spice. It was a great way to show that sex is debt with differently by different people and sexual attraction if felt differently by each person. Over all I was happy with reading it and finishing the book.
did not like the naration as much as the book. I did like the naration of the excerpt

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.

Like an avenging, purple-haired Jedi bringing balance to the mansplained universe, Bee Königswasser lives by a simple code: what would Marie Curie do? If NASA offered her the lead on a neuroengineering project—a literal dream come true after years scraping by on the crumbs of academia—Marie would accept without hesitation. Duh. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward.
The many lives of theoretical physicist Elsie Hannaway have finally caught up with her. By day, she's an adjunct professor, toiling away at grading labs and teaching thermodynamics in the hopes of landing tenure. By other day, Elsie makes up for her non-existent paycheck by offering her services as a fake girlfriend, tapping into her expertly honed people-pleasing skills to embody whichever version of herself the client needs. Honestly, it's a pretty sweet gig - until her carefully constructed Elsie-verse comes crashing down.

Audio note: I switched back and forth between the audio and the ebook throughout - and the audio was excellent. This is told exclusively from Olive's point of view, so there's one narrator. She did a great job. The vibe feels young and fresh, with a voice that actually sounds like a 26-year-old.
