I was taken aback by how much of a romance novel this book was. The idea didn't click (despite the title) given the subject matter. It's rare for me to skim a book rather than move on, but I did this time because even though I knew from the first page this wasn't going to be my cup of tea, the historical and scientific elements of the plot intrigued me. I was particularly interested in Charlie's character. While definitely one of the more interesting romance novels I've come across, I still struggled through it as I'm not partial to this writing style. The last few chapters held my attention more and I was impressed though not surprised by the ending.
