Longtime best friends and roommates, Kian and Lyric are nearing the end of their doctoral studies. He will be graduating soon, and Lyric has just one more year to go. She seems to be stuck with her dissertation. She has the research, but she lacks the personal experience that connects her to the theory behind her Sizzle Paradox. Kian, wanting to help out his best friend, offers to tutor her on how to date, so she can become better at making connections.
This one has some tropes that I adore in romance books–STEM representation, roommates, fake dating (sort of), and he falls first. It has alternating, dual points-of-view, so we see both Lyric’s and Kian’s perspectives. It has LGBTQ representation.
This one is definitely a slow-burn, with some bursts of passion. It is a friends-to-lovers romance, where neither of them realizes that they are in love until much later in the storyline.
I was excited about this book, and the first half was a page-turner for me. It kept me laughing out loud in the beginning. Somewhere along the way, though, it fell flat for me.

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for an eARC of the book. All opinions are my own.
