I laughed, I teared up, I rooted harder for Jack and Elsie than I ever have in my reading career. Really really good read.

Love, Theoretically is factually amazing. I blasted through this book and had so much fun with every second of it!

Elsie’s desire for connection at any cost is SO relatable, and her struggle to ask for what she wants resonates with me so hard. As an aspiring recovered people pleaser (not quite there yet) I have felt the exact things that she experienced throughout the book, and seeing that on the page was so reassuring.

The romance in this book 🥰 don’t even get me started. Jack might be my new favorite book boyfriend. Ali Hazelwood just knows that any man who packs snacks for his girlfriend has the key to my heart 😂

If you love any of Ali Hazelwood’s other books you should definitely give this one a read! 5 stars.

Ali Hazelwood does it again….her books just speak to me, and I’d be happy to read her writing for the rest of my life. My grad student heart adores all of her STEMinist novels more than I can say

<light spoilers>
I definitely had mixed feelings about this book, during reading it, immediately after finishing, and 12 hours later. There were things that I liked: the main character not being "fixed" at the end, the empowerment of women in STEM, the cameo of Olive and Adam being used as offering a new perspective of a character who's mind the readers couldn't see, and overall the enemies to lovers arc. 

However, I did think that the book was too long and even though, it wrapped up nicely, there were many moments where I was waiting a hundred pages for the resolution I knew was coming.

Enemies to lovers trope with some really funny moments. The female lead, as in the author's previous books, is a woman in STEM, which could be admirable, but the author continues to make these women much smaller in stature than their male counterparts and with some weakness in their character. The male lead, again, is seemingly perfect, in his job, in most of his family relationships, and in helping the female lead get over her issues. The romance was ultimately sweet but seemed to accelerate quickly without much development.
