i picked this one up not thinking i was going to be THAT into it. romance isn't my genre. it just isn't my thing. but i KEPT seeing it on instagram and i was like fine! i give! ill try it!
ZERO REGRETS HAD HERE
it's so fun and fluffy. it's a little silly - which i was expecting. i don't mind that from a rom-com. i found the characters endearing, witty, and best of all? olive is DEMI REP??? was not expecting it or ready for it but i was surely LOVING IT. (while i admit it could have been more fleshed out, im happy for any rep, and hope it continues.) ultimately it was a fun, sometimes silly, always earnest novel and ali hazelwood is now my go-to romance novel

Ali Hazelwood’s The Love Hypothesis deserves every bit of five stars. From the very first page, I was pulled into the world of Olive and Adam, and I couldn’t look away. The slow-burn romance was written so beautifully that the tension between them felt electric. The intimacy was not only intense but also deeply emotional—it built layer by layer until I was completely invested in every stolen glance and every hesitant touch.
This book kept me on the edge of my seat, heart racing as I turned each page, desperate to see where their connection would lead. And when Olive and Adam weren’t together, I found myself in tears. The ache of that distance was so raw and real that it lingered with me long after putting the book down.
Hazelwood captured not just a love story but the vulnerability, fear, and courage that come with opening your heart to someone else. It’s rare to find a book that makes you laugh, cry, and swoon all at once, but The Love Hypothesis did exactly that. A powerful, heartfelt romance that I would highly recommend to anyone who loves a story that grips both your emotions and your imagination.
Recommendation: A must-read for fans of slow-burn romance and emotionally charged intimacy.

I'm not sure what's to dislike about this book. Is it revolutionary? No. Is it cute? Yes. A little bit of brains, a little bit of spice.
I genuinely enjoyed our MCs, their interactions and build up to their consummation. Did it lose it's way a little upon conclusion? Possibly, but the good outweighs the eyerolls.
Perfect quick summer read. Will be watching out for the movie release.
