It’s a really nerdy(in the good kind of way) and totally loveable. If you want a sweet but kind enemies to Lovers Vibe but not quite enemies either, but something in between? This is the book. It has the sunny and broody romance.

Abbiamo avuto degli alti e bassi io e questo libro ma nonostante questo non posso dire di non averlo amato con tutto ok mio cuore.
ADAM AMORE MIO.
Sono una coppia adorabile. 
Questa è una delle pochissime volte (quindi merita di essere ricordata) che ho amato l'epilogo, ma veramente tanto.
L'autrice non avrebbe potuto scriverlo meglio, se mai la dovessi incontrare la abbraccerei e ringrazierei per avermi fatto divertire attraverso Adam e Olive, ho lasciato come si dice in inglese? A PART OF MY SOUL, in questa storia. 
Sono felice? si, tanto.

Let’s start off by saying I usually don’t pick up contemporary romance novels because I get a little, well, squeamish during certain scenes and often they have me cringe quite a bit. However, the demisexual representation in The Love Hypothesis greatly reduced those unpleasant side effects for me and I have to admit I enjoyed this one a lot. I love the supportive friendships in this story too (although you should probably not resort to fake dating a guy so your friend can feel better about herself; or maybe you should, who knows, read this book and decide for yourself what to do with that fictional info).

It gets a solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (4.5 out of 5) rating from me because it had me rooting for the main characters and some parts made me audibly cheer them on. It’s wholesome, it made me happy and I devoured it in two days/sittings.
