A Romance Novel

  "This is a skillful blend of romance and the high-stakes pressure of academia, and Aiseman lands characters who are smart, vulnerable, and authentically flawed ... delightful mix of slow-burn tension, witty dialogue, and emotional depth both catchy and irresistible." — BookLife Reviews
 

"Aiseman's briskly paced narrative deftly balances Ellie's and Aiden's love story with their personal and professional concerns as they navigate the ethics of a romance between co-workers. A bright and entertaining start to a promising new series." — Kirkus Reviews

“Aiseman’s psychological acuity shines, revealing how insidious and normalized emotional and mental abuse becomes over time … Readers will find catharsis in Chloe’s growth, elegant unfolding of self-recognition, and thrill of becoming someone she truly likes … Unflinching look at emotional abuse wrapped in a hopeful love story." — BookLife Reviews

“Aiseman’s colorful, evocative prose ably conveys both catty comedy … and the tremulous buildup of passion … Chloe is a winsome hero, hesitant, wary, and determinedly independent but suffused with quiet yearning; readers will root for her to land the right man. An entertaining love story featuring sharply etched, appealing characters with palpable chemistry.” — Kirkus Reviews
