Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. Light read with an HEA, love that the fmc was in STEM and her voice reflects that well. I definitely clicked with the author's dry humor, and the writing style very much fits the character. It's like Ali Hazelwood but with fewer interpersonal and power imbalance problems, although the interpersonal issues are definitely there. Very slow burn, mmc hot nerd who fell first, fmc fear of rejection. Very relatable concept of distancing yourself in relationships in order to avoid rejection, leading to misreading and discounting other's feelings. Could Clara really have been so clueless as to how Henry feels, or is she just that mired in her (mistaken) feeling that she's too broken to love? I'm very glad she figured it out in time (and before I got too much more aggravated with her, because I was ready to shake her by the two-thirds mark in the book). Clara and Henry are adorable together. Multiple turns of phrase in the story made me snort-laugh, which was delightful. I'm looking forward to reading more by this author!
