Elementary Romantic Calculus

I had no idea what to expect from this book. My friend and I from our math REU decided to read this as apart of our book club and OMG!!?

Mia is a post doc born in New York & went to Princeton/UCLA who ended up in the small town of Crowder, Texas. She wasn’t thrilled about the move until she meets farmer Josh (her landlord’s nephew). You can see where I’m going here — yes this story becomes a romance between the two.

Honestly their story was fairly cute. Was giggling probably way too often. *knot* to mention Mia is a knot theorist and just the amount of silly math things like the AMS, Annals, LITERALLY FLIRTING INVOLVING TALKING ABOUT DIAGONAL MATRICES has me sending.

It was a little TOO silly in some places and the romance kind of just happened as compared to a genuine build up.

Overall, enjoyed all the math jokes.

All. The. FEELS.

My heart is melting - and not because of the Texan climate. Mia and Josh are such wonderful characters, I was in serious like with both right from the very beginning, and it was so easy to root for them both. They made me smile (and sometimes LOL), they surely made me swoon (oh, my!), and my heart ached for them both while they both struggled with their personal demons.

And let's not forget the awesome supporting cast (Birdie! Andie! Wyatt!) who make me want to read ALL the stories about the folks of Crowder, Texas! (Okay, maybe not all of them. but let's start with Wyatt, mkay?)
