Thank you to @littlebrownbookgroup_uk for this copy!

Another book which left me feeling disappointed. It was much easier to read than The American Roommate Experiment and had somewhat of a story line but it just seemed too similar to The Love Hypothesis in the way that each character is described & the plot. I expected something different, something better.

For intelligent women in STEM, it always seems like they’re a damsel in distress. The men are always these assholes who are only assholes because they’re secretly in love but can’t confess their feelings for a trivial reason. You’re telling me a grown ass man who leads a team of people and works for NASA building some neuro thing can’t stand to be in a room with the woman he’s in love with cause he believes she’s married? Naaah. Get a grip my guy.

I know we absolutely love an enemies to lovers story but it’s just getting a little boring. I think I’m over it. Give me that Sarah Morgan/Beth O’Leary Romance any day!

So it’s a no for me but again if you loved The Love Hypothesis then you’ll probably enjoy this too!

Soy Tanya. I’m the youngest of the group...and I don’t really know what to say except that I find these things really awkward. When Linda first came to me with this idea of an online bookclub/review page I was 100% down, although I was a little worried and felt like backing out on many occasions as I felt like my reviews were awful - I’m not good with words at all. If anyone was to ask me a year ago how I found a book, I’d reply: “good” - that’s my review done. But being part of this club with such amazing girls has really made me a lot more confident and comfortable. So I’ll forever be grateful. It’s always a laugh when we’re together, we are guaranteed to get side-tracked but our meetings are always productive and a lot of fun. This is just the beginning for us. I like reading all kinds of books from different genres but prefer romance/YA. With work being full on I like feel-good books that are light and easy. I’m currently in the middle of reading a few books lol but sticking to The Zanzibar Wife by Rebecca Rodriquez. Reading for me is a form of escapism, just getting away from the stress of real life and getting lost in book and falling in love with characters. I can’t list my top 5 or even top 10 so here are a few of my all-time favourites: The Sicilian by Mario Puzo To all the boys I’ve loved before by Jenny Han, A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hoseeini, The Forty Rules of Love by Shafa Kelif Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith and Moonlight Over Manhattan by Sarah Morgan.
