A fun and quick read, but overall I found the storyline predictable, the characters boring, and the affirmative consent lacking

I understand now why there had been so much hype around The Love Hypothesis. Well written, intentional and creative I would read more from Hazelwood in a heartbeat. Her characters are not complex and the story is easy to digest but these are not bad things. It feels good to read a romantic story about two adults that act like children in love; it’s wonderful! It feels real! Adam and Olive, and the pining for one another is everything important in the book. Even the subtle introduction a social issue and how it was not only applied but confronted was well done. Enjoyable read.
