    **What do you do when your former colleague, (a hot british professor of paleontology,) shows up at your dig site & needs your help investigating your (super shitty) ex who ruined your career? You spend the summer doing everything you can to take him down, of course. For science. And maybe you uncover something more along the way... ** I had so much fun with this academic rivals-to-lovers workplace rom-com!! Watching two nerds fall for each other in their shared element is everything to me, I loved the dinosaur jokes and the Jurassic Park references, as well as learning the actual history shared (please look up Mary Anning if you don't already know about her!!) and the real-life "fossil feuds" this was based on. Ripley and James had me laughing out loud with their banter and tearing up with their tenderness. **read this if you love: 🦴 women in STEM 🦴 forced proximity 🦴 a man who YEARNS 🦴 anxiety rep 🦴 slutty forearms, slutty glasses, slutty thigh tattoo** CWS: parent living with cancer, on-page anxiety attacks, misogyny, gaslighting, toxic ex & parent relationships thank you so much to dell for the digital review copy of this book!
