1. What was your overall opinion of the book?
   when I say this is my favourite book, this. Is. My. Favourite. Book.
   
   
2. What was your favourite moment/scene in the book?
   I don’t know how to pick one, but I love love love the early, awkward scenes when they go on their 1-minute coffee dates.
   
   
3. Which character did you like best/most identify with?
   My favourite character is Adam, obviously. A broody, secret piner is my kryptonite.
   
   
4. Did any themes or messages in the book change your perspective on anything?
   I don’t think so…
   
   
5. How did the author’s writing style impact your reading experience?
   Ali’s intelligence and knowledge always comes across so obviously in her books and while I understand very little of it, I still appreciate it, and the way she can make it so very funny.
   
   
6. Was this book relatable to you in any way?
   Unfortunately I am not a scientist, nor have I ever fake dated anyone but I am probably just as awkward as Olive when it comes to romance and relationships (if not more so).
   
   
7. What is the one thing about this book you will remember, even a year from now?
   The scene when Anh and Malcolm hear Olive’s recording… makes me cry every time but they are so good to her and every girl needs friends like that.
   
   
8. How likely would you be to recommend the book to someone else? (use a sliding scale of 1-5 if easier)
