This was my second time reading and it was so cute. Ali really made the plot of the fake dating trope really well. i love the way Adam cares for Ol and the bad broody guy caring for the girl gives me serotonin. I highly recommend if you want a cute romance book.

I do love a good Ali Hazelwood book! This story had a pretty standard romantic comedy plot line: fake dating while the two fake partners inevitably fall in love with each other. But I loved it all the same! I did feel that some of the characters seemed underdeveloped. Adam, for example, was wildly dreamy, but honestly I would have liked to learn more about his story. We don’t get a glimpse into his feelings until the very very end and most exposition about his character is done by his best friend Holden. I don’t think this is my favorite Ali Hazelwood romance novel, but it was pretty solid!

Empecé este libro como un momento de distracción de mis otras lecturas y cumplió con lo que esperaba.
Es bastante fácil de leer, la autora hace uso de varios clichés de romance durante el desarrollo de la trama por lo que la hace muy predecible, pero es bastante entretenido y no me costo nada terminarlo.
¿Leería más de la autora? No creo, parece usar la misma fórmula para el resto de sus libros de romance, pero si algún día publica algo diferente si le daría una oportunidad.

I would have liked this book a lot more if we hadn’t been constantly reminded every few minutes that Olive is smol girl and Adam is large man 🙄🥴 It felt like very lazy writing in an otherwise solid and fun romcom, but it was so off-putting that it really did impact my enjoyment of the book. The first time I heard it, it made me roll my eyes but it was fine. There was no need to repeat it even once after that let alone repeat it literally at least 9 times. Like please ☠️ Find another way to say he’s attractive to her or to describe their appearances.

My expectations were low when I started this book. I remember hearing about this book so much around booktok, and Twitter as well, that's why I put off reading this book because I wanted the hype to die down before getting into this one. But actually, I was in indefinite book slump when this came out that's why I wasn't reading ANYTHING lol.
Anyway, as I was in the middle of binge-reading the Bridgerton series I decided to read this one for a palette cleanser. And boy was I so thankful I decided on picking this one.
The story started with immediately introducing our two main characters Olive and Adam, and their relationship, or lack thereof. I thought it would be your typical enemies-turned-lovers where they had to fake date because of a certain reason, and then eventually fall for each other because of forced proximity. BUT NO, IT WASN'T. Okay, there were some parts that were definitely cliche BUT if you're like me and simple things makes you happy then this book is for you.
I thought the science-y things would bore me because I read somewhere that readers just skip those parts. So, I assumed that those parts would be long and boring, but no don't let the setting intimidate you because it was only some parts, and you could totally breeze thru it.
To say I loved every bit of Olive and Adam's banter, and character development together would be an understatement. I've always loved quirky female leads, and Olive easily became one of my favorites. The Love Hypothesis isn't just some story that you'd forget after reading because it was that good. I'd be definitely adding this to my reread-ables.
