This book was my first rodeo with Ali Hazelwood and I overall liked it and I think I’m gonna read the other STEM books, but my priority is Love Theoretically because of Jujutsu Kaisen reasons lol
The Love Hypothesis follows Olive Smith, a third-year PhD candidate, who has to fake date professor Adam Carlsen because Olive’s best friend didn’t want to continue dating the guy that Olive had previously dated. So Olive had to “prove” that she’s over it and that Anh can just date the guy since they’re obviously head over heels for each other.
I’ve posted about this before but one of the most ridiculous things about this book is the abundance of ways that the author described Adam Carlsen as big. Like everything about him is big, his height, body, his hands especially, and his d—.
I liked that there was depth to the story that highlights Olive’s hard work and brilliance. Although, I think towards the end, even though it was satisfying and everything worked out for them, I didn’t get enough closure about Olive’s career and details on how the person who assaulted Olive was made accountable, versus it being just an off-page thing.
I can see why some people would say that this book is like a well-written fan fiction because apparently it is?
The main wish I have for this book is if there was a few POVs from Adam. That’s it. 4.5 stars.

*slaps book cover* You can fit so many tropes inside this bad boy.
Lighthearted and fun, but very cliché. I am impressed though considering that I heard this originated as a Reylo fan-fic.
My biggest gripe is everyone calling Olive “Ol”, that was so grating to me for some reason.
