Thank you netgalley and One more chapter for allowing me to read this arc in exchange for an honest review! This is so much better than it's counterpart (the adam driver fanfiction i hated that) but this was a joy from beginning to end. I saw henry with his clark kent glasses (adorable), the superman underwear and bad pipetting technique and i understand clara completely it's a man with blue eyes in stem i am sold. Truly a fun read and i hope everyone finds it as silly and exciting as i did.

I love a STEM romance, especially one based in the UK. So I immediately jumped at getting the chance to read this. I read it super quickly over a few hours as I just got absorbed by it. The writing is just so easy to follow and engaging.

This book was hilarious, Clara made me laugh so much, I loved her relatable personality. She was also smart and kind. She had past trauma that affected her, her relationships and her ability to trust men. But I was rooting for her and Henry the whole time.
They were a perfect match with lots of great banter and tension.
Clara was oblivious to her charm and the effect she had on poor Henry early on in their studying days. It's not till 7 years later and he is back in her life that she's not quite immune to Henry's good looks and quiet charm.

This is a second chance workplace romance with alot of heart. And highly recommend for fans of Ali Hazelwood. It's the perfect Rom Com.

4.25 ⭐️
I'm only not rating this higher because personally I just wanted to shake Clara because it was so obvious (to me) Henry was so in love with her.

I love a "he falls first" trope so bad to read it. There were some good aspects, I loved the banter between Clara and Henry, the chemistry between them was just as palpable in the past as it was in their present. The only thing missing for me was more details on their actual work...he's an engineer and she's a scientist, but aside from the prelude chapter, and the bare threads of the premise that they meet at her workplace to collaborate for a project, there's very little technical details pertaining to their work. to put it simply, the STEM-inist in me was missing all the science. It just felt like any other misunderstood trope romance.

Special thanks to HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter and Netgalley for providing me an advance copy of the ebook in exchange for an honest review.

This is a cute romance between an engineer and a scientist who have lots of great banter and chemistry. The characters were fun and likeable, although they did read a lot younger (early twenties maybe?) to me than professionals in their thirties.

This is a story of slow burn, he falls first, and friends to lovers and is an enjoyable read. Up until about 75% this was a 4 star read for me. The reason for downgrading to 3.5 stars is the last portion of the book let it down for my personal taste. The FMC did not have the character growth I would’ve liked for her and I am not a bit fan of the miscommunication trope. Nonetheless, I did still enjoy this book and would recommend you give it a try if you enjoy any of the tropes or STEM romances!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I read this book in one day. It was a lighthearted read with a bit of a twist and had me smiling broadly
