Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4.5 stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love teacher\/student romances so the Dear Professor<\/i> series is right up my alley. I loved the first book, Kissing Tolstoy<\/i> and I am happy to say that the second book, Kissing Galileo<\/i> is just as good!<\/p>\n

Emily is working in a lingerie shop where she models the clothing when her professor walks in. She recognizes him immediately but he has no idea that she is his student. Once it\u2019s out in the open, things are strained between them. Emily would love to be more than just friends, but Victor is adamant that\u2019s all they can be.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a delicious, slow burn, friends-to-lovers romance that is more than just a love story. And, like the first book, this story brings us a unique twist on the teacher\/student romance and I couldn\u2019t put it down.<\/p>\n

I love Emily and Victor both separately as well as together. The character depth is well written and it makes them so interesting. Victor is a professor whose outward appearance isn\u2019t how he feels on the inside. He isn\u2019t the typical hero who gets all the girls. He\u2019s so much more than meets the eye and has a lot of insecurities and inexperience. His vulnerabilities is what really drew me to him.<\/p>\n

Emily is a hardworking student who makes money by modeling lingerie. She\u2019s not exactly embarrassed by her job but she keeps it to herself. She is a kind person who takes the time to get to know people and she doesn\u2019t judge them. I really enjoyed her and would love to know her in real life!<\/p>\n

The banter between Emily and Victor is great and the sexual tension is high but they try to be just friends as it\u2019s what is needed at the moment. Both are so smart and they challenge each other. I love when they truly open up because there is so much growth and acceptance in this story. It deals with finding self-worth, self-love, trust, and bravery as well as opening your heart to love. It\u2019s the flaws and vulnerabilities of these characters make them relatable and real and had me rooting for them from the beginning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not me. And I\u2019m afraid that you see me, and you think this is me\u201d\u2014Victor gestured to his body\u2014\u201cbut when you finally see the real me\u2014na\u00efve, inexperienced, messy\u2014you\u2019ll know I\u2019m not enough. You won\u2019t want that person.\u201d
\n\u2026
\n\u201cif you think I\u2019m perfect, you are sadly mistaken. This\u201d\u2014I gestured to my body\u2014\u201cisn\u2019t me. It\u2019s a part of me, but my exterior will never tell the entirety of my story or of my value. Don\u2019t you think I have the same kind of fears as you? Don\u2019t you think everyone does?\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Overall, I loved Kissing Galileo<\/i> and think it is a fantastic addition to this series. I also adored Anna and Luca from Kissing Tolstoy<\/i><\/a> so I am glad to get a little more of them.<\/p>\n

Note: I listened to the audiobook and loved it!!<\/p>\n
