This was the last AH novel I wanted to read and dammit if it wasn't the best one. Jack Smith Turner forever. Elsie, our FMC, is cut from the exact same cloth as Olive from Love Hypothesis, so if you hate a quirky STEM girlie lacking confidence, you won't find anything different here. There's no icky power dynamic like in LH, and AH restrains herself no to mention the size of her MMC every other page (here it's more like every 8 pages). i absolutely adore it. Will be buying a physical copy. Can't wait to check it out on audiobook.

This made my chronically ill heart swoon!
Love, Theoretically is a rivals to lovers romance between two physicists, Elsie and Jack.
Elsie has Type I Diabetes, and her chronic illness is a big part of her character development. I really related to the guilt and desire to please when you grow up sick and that sickness affects others.
I think a lot of women will see themselves in Elsie, who in the words of Taylor Swift is a pathological people pleaser. And Jack, unlike Joe Alwyn, sees her. I loved their chemistry, but I loved even more how they helped each other grow.
I also always love the settings that Ali Hazelwood puts her books in, and this one really delves into the politics of academia. I found that truly fascinating, though the villain felt a tiny bit cartoonish at times.
This one was great though! I’ll read anything and everything Ali Hazelwood writes!
