Review:
This is the first time I read a academia romance and now my expectations are at a very high place. The characters are developed well, it is more likely the realness of the character I loved the most. Adam Carlsen is one such character who is ideal in many ways.
Overall I loved all the nerdy banters between the characters, quirky and sweet Adam and the friendship between Anh, Olive and Malcolm is goals!
The plot is quite simple but I loved the story flow though. Each characters had their own part in the plot. As a person who likes to read fake dating troupe, this book turned out to be my favourite. This is the second read of this year and I don’t regret picking it up!
Do read this book if you like contemporary fake dating romance with lots of nerdy banters and cute couples.
