There's something about the conversation between Olive and Adam on pages 267-268 that automatically made me realize this was going to be 4-5 stars. It's hard to describe because there are so many other things to love about this story, but it's what made me really love it.
It's something that I haven't seen in any romances that I've read, and I immediately connected with it. I really said, "Wow, that's me - 100%". How Olive describes how she feels sexual attraction made me feel seen. Was it the best representation, probably not but I really connected to it.
"I don't feel sexual attraction unless I actually get to trust and like a person, which for some reason never happens" , pg 268
Also need to mention that this story does include Title IX issues in academia (two separate issues) so if that makes you uncomfortable, just don't read it. No need to say people can't love a book just because you don't agree the 'trope and/or relationship.
