His neighbor is Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire famous for the lavish parties he throws every weekend, though almost no one knows where his fortune came from or what he truly wants.\n\nThrough Nick, we learn that Gatsby's glittering displays are all in service of a single obsession: Daisy Buchanan, the woman he loved before the war and who is now married to the wealthy, brutish Tom Buchanan. As Nick is drawn into the tangled lives of the East Egg and West Egg elite, the distance between old money and new, between illusion and reality, becomes impossible to bridge.\n\nF.

So when she needs to convince her best friend that her own love life is thriving, she panics and kisses the first man she sees — who happens to be Adam Carlsen, a young, brilliant, notoriously unapproachable professor.\n\nTo Olive's surprise, Adam agrees to keep up the fake-dating charade; he has reasons of his own for wanting the department to believe he's settling down. What begins as a tidy arrangement grows complicated as conference travel, lab politics, and Adam's unexpected steadiness start to blur the line between performance and feeling.\n\nAli Hazelwood's debut is a warm, funny STEM rom-com about a heroine who trusts her hypotheses more than her heart, and the grumpy academic who makes her want to revise them.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz6rw4ba9ygc3pb0f3vam5a.jpg","LVFQF2}@JBIq0f9as,%2k?o~RPRP","4.03",395,[1116],{"id":636,"slug":637,"name":638},[1118,1119,1120],{"id":134,"name":135,"slug":136,"is_fiction":20},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":20},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},[1122],{"id":1123,"slug":1124,"name":1109,"position":204,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kkd35sc8f9evpt2f7t5cevqg","the-love-hypothesis-t2ry",{"pace":81,"complexity":7,"audience":84,"mood":1126,"themes":1127,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[342,86,87],[1128,344],"fake-dating",[1130],{"id":1131,"slug":1132,"title":1133,"user":1134,"work_id":4,"is_draft":19,"verified_reader":20,"featured":19,"body":1141,"overall_rating":35,"depth":7,"momentum":7,"atmosphere":7,"craft":7,"impact":7,"spice":7,"spoiler_level":1142,"locale":7,"feed_item_key":1143,"like_count":17,"comment_count":17,"top_likers":1144,"viewer_can_reply":19,"created_at":1145,"updated_at":1145},"01kxpwzesy8b2z5zm63xdxtmh8","review-of-in-for-a-penny-by-nadene","Review of \"In for a Penny\" by nadene",{"id":1135,"name":1136,"username":1137,"avatar_url":1138,"is_system":19,"published_reviews_count":1139,"books_read_count":1140},692,"Nadene","nadene","https:\u002F\u002Flh3.googleusercontent.com\u002Fa\u002FACg8ocJagtEG0_WBr9w_-tRnbZi93QoXf9OelJQx_77YX1doLsOHefbv=s96-c",1825,1837,"I have been looking forward to Scott and Penny’s story after being introduced to them in The Gritty Truth, where I learnt they were in a relationship. Scott did not have an easy childhood. He grew up in an abusive environment, which he escaped when he was seventeen years old. However, he bears the emotional scars associated with his past, which hindered him from forming relationships with women. Meeting Penny brought about changes, but although their relationship has grown, he feared becoming a father and verbally expressing his feelings.\n\nIn For A Penny delivered a short but sweet, passionate romance brimming with emotions and sprinkled with humour. The reader got the chance to follow Scott and Penny as they navigated the ups and downs of their relationship. Penny wanted what Scott feared giving her, and it weighed heavily on her. I felt her pain and my heart wept for her as she struggled with deciding whether to let go or fight for the man she loves. I loved how well they communicated with each other and the way they worked through their issues.\n\nIt was fun catching up with characters from the previous books and being present at Bones and Sarahs’ wedding.\n\nIn For A Penny was a delicious romantic story, which featured outstanding characters whom you can’t help but fall in love with. Another beautiful story from Melissa Foster.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading","none","rv-01kxpwzesy8b2z5zm63xdxtmh8",[],"2026-07-17T02:02:38.000000Z"]
