Finding X by Miles Tan I finished this book a month ago, but only had the chance to review it now, XD
This was a fun read that I was able to finish rather quickly because I could not put it down for long! I love the dynamics of their first meeting and their subsequent meetings where both are holding back something from the other but could not stay away for too long.
I loved that Carlisle is so much more than just a loveless girl here. She world hard, she plays video games, she’s saving the world (or at least making a difference) one step at a time. I also loved that Matteo is super smart and nerdy but not insufferable, and adorable instead. There was an element of strong woman/meek man vibe in there but the characters are written well, these stereotypes are whittled down to deliver a story that’s fun and more relatable than I initially thought it would be.
Kudos also for including Matteo’s POV in short but meaningful journal notes. I loved that they’re short enough not to take the stage away from Carlisle but it was enough to say more about the LI than other books with only one POV.
Plus points on hair colors and how important they are in the story, and of course, Matteo’s geological puns! (*oh, and I have not forgotten about the rain + car scene. I don’t think I ever will! ;) )
4 of 5 Stars. Highly recommended for those who are craving for cute stories that does justice to lovable characters. AND YAY, SCIENCE!
Blurb:
Is there a science to falling in love? Carlisle Santiago is through with men. After the devastating end of a seven-year relationship, she's trying to put her life back together. What she doesn't know is that she is the subject of the patient and methodical observations of blue-haired scientist Matteo Villegas, who just wants to find love himself. She must decide whether she's ready to give love another shot or if this is doomed to be one failed experiment.

Why do textbooks always use x? The answer is pretty funny. It's actually a bastardized translation from Arabic. See, back in the old days, some Arabic mathematicians went through a train of thought similar to the one we've gone through here, and they decided to use the word 'something' for the same reason that we used 'stuff'. Perfectly reasonable. Then came this problem. The first letter of the word 'something' in Arabic makes a sound similar to the sound 'sh' in English. It turns out that the Spanish language has no 'sh' sound, so when all of this Arabic mathematics was translated into Spanish, the Spanish translators chose the closest thing they could think of. This was the Greek letter "chi" which looks like an x. - Burn Math Class, Jason Wilkes
