I really wanted to love this book. It has great representation and the premise is amazing, but the story and writing fell flat for me. I also really appreciated that Stella was the nerdy math person and Michael was the escort. The role reversal was great to read. I loved the characters but did enjoy the plot as much as I thought I would and there were times I was cringing as I read scenes between the love interests.

The characters were witty and real. It was easy to connect with them and feel like you truly knew them. However, there were a lot of moments where I was uncomfortable reading the characters together. This may have been somewhat intentional by the author, but it didn't work for me. I can see why everyone loves this book, but it just was not for me. I want to love the characters and the story and not be uncomfortable reading about the characters together.
