A buttoned-up professor and a high school dropout prove opposites do attract in this latest delight from Jen Comfort. 

 

Teddy is all about lists and order. Maxine’s trivia intake is fueled by wherever her ADHD “superpowers” lead her. When her “Max Heart” strategy ends Teddy’s record-setting run on Answers!, a trivia show similar to Jeopardy!, she doesn’t expect to see him again, but Answers! isn’t quite done with this pairing yet. 

 

A chance to defeat all-time undefeated Answers! champion Hercules McKnight in an Answers! tournament against the other biggest Answers! winners brings the two rivals together again. They agree to help each other prepare in order to take down McKnight. 

 

THE BANTER. THE CHEMISTRY. THE PROXIMITY. I could not get enough, y’all. So, so good. 

 

And HE FALLS FIRST!!! (I just love it when he falls first.) 

 

Also, I know I already mentioned THE CHEMISTRY—yes, the all caps there is intended—but it bears repeating. *Stops to fan self* 

 

On a more serious note, I adored the neurodivergence rep here and sincerely appreciate how Comfort captures the experience of having a brain that works differently from what’s considered to be neurotypical.
