Giving us both romance and a women in stem this book has lots going for it. Cute characters with backbone who stick up for themselves.
Thank you for the arc

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I liked all the main characters and found them to be completely relatable. I really felt for Esther when she was frustrated with being underappreciated just because she was a woman in STEM. I loved how she was blunt and kind of bossy most times while being insecure in other areas. The storyline was fast-paced and entertaining and Jonathan turned out to be a perfect book-boyfriend.
I read the book in one day and I will definitely go on reading the rest of the series.

Thank you to The Publisher Pan Macmillan | Pan, The Author Susannah Nix & NetGalley for an advanced reader copy (ARC) in exchange for my honest review.

Esther, an aerospace engineer often overlooked by her peers, finds herself at odds with her neighbor Jonathon. Despite their differences, Esther strikes a deal with him: she'll assist with his science fiction screenplay if he takes Esther's best friend out to prevent her from rekindling with her toxic ex. As the dates progress and the script reviews unfold, Esther and Jonathon unexpectedly find themselves spending more time together. Yet, their personal insecurities hinder the development of their budding connection.

Delving deeper into the challenges faced by women in male-dominated STEM fields, the narrative sheds light on the subtle yet pervasive sexism that ostracizes individuals like Esther. However, amidst these trials, the story emphasizes the importance of support networks, even as Esther maintains her preference for independence.

With its authentic portrayal of women in technology, this series continues to captivate, offering insight into both the struggles and triumphs of navigating such environments.
