I had a grand old time reading this book, it hits a ton of tropes that I love. However, you MUST know going in: if you are not into the miscommunication trope in particular, you will hate this book.

I happen to love that trope, so this was totally my jam. Love the fake dating, love the pining, love the academic setting, love the way Adam is described. He's honestly my favorite part of the book. The big tall brilliant grumpy-grump with the pumpkin-spice guzzling elfin grad student (fake) girlfriend? So fun. So deadpan.

It's a quick read, and it's satisfying, no complaints. Except maybe about one specific line in the spicy scene. It was definitely unintentionally hilarious.
