This book was a fun and quick read that kept me hooked with lots of cute-funny moments for the first half. The writing style was easy to follow.
Postdoctoral researcher x Former Ph.D. Assessor Liz & Tom met 4 years ago and were instantly captivated. But when you think it will go to the next base, they were interrupted. Nothing happened. Then life made him to be her Ph.D. Assessor, and of course he handled it in the most horrible way possible under the pressure of professionalism. Liz loathes him. Goodbye to those feelings. Now, all the coincidences made them not only work together but live together, even plan their parents’ wedding together. What in the world will happen next?
At first, I was interested in this book because I heard this was an enemy-to-lovers relationship, similar to The Love Hypothesis, and I can tell you I LOVED The Love Hypothesis. But, I don’t think this book can be categorized as an enemy-to-lovers. Tom was pretty much enamored with Liz from the very beginning. The only thing the two books have in common is STEM-based romance.
The plot has so much coincidence for my liking and I think both of MC kinda toxic, honestly. But there’s lots of sarcastic bantering that made me laugh and it’s enough to keep me hooooooked. At least they figured out they were jerks, not only to each other but to other people.
Overall, I enjoyed this fun book.
