I have such complicated feelings about this book. Like the main character, I am a tenure track assistant professor. I found some of the depictions of academia cringe because of how real they were and some cringe just because they were cringe. I also was driven crazy by her love interest - he seems to completely lack any awareness or care for how he’s damaging her career and reputation? Ugh.
