Reviews with content warning for Sexual assault - The Love Hypothesis

I have a love and hate relationship with this book. It started fun, but it got boring mid book.
I couldn’t love it.
Like why did Adam like Olive? What made him like her for two consecutive years, when he never even spoke to her once, other than that awkward talk in the bathroom and after the kiss? It makes him look like a stalker.
How many time is Olive going to complain or describe how large and antagonistic Adam was. It became repetitive. We get it he is tall and perfect, but isn’t the nicest person in the world, no need to repeat it so much.
I don’t want to say much about it, as to not spoil anyone the story, but at some point it was pretty obvious how he felt for her. Like there is no way Olive was that dense.
Lastly, why are her friends so awful? Specifically Anh. She was ridiculously annoying, and for someone who was constantly described as Olive best friend, and the person that understood her the most, Anh failed to realize when Olive was uncomfortable, sad, and in absolute distress. In other words, when Olive needed her the most she was oblivious to it. Her friends didn’t add much to the story. They were there for decoration.
Also, wtf is wrong with having freckles?
This book was a mess, and it makes me sad because i kind of liked how it started, until she gave the lamest excuse for having kiss Adam, it went downhill from there.

I'm usually not one for romance, but I actually really liked it! I found the writing of the bonus chapter to be a bit cringy but otherwise I really enjoyed it!

The Love Hypothesis is one of those books i was skeptical of because you could consider it a BookTok favorite, after finishing it though I can say that I enjoyed reading the almost 400 pages of romance. I can lie and say that it's the best romance book ever written or that it's one of my favorites however, the book is good.

It gave me the same feeling I have when I read fanfiction and for me that's a feeling I absolutely LOVE. I squealed at certain parts and this book made me giggle and kick my feet in the air. It was just a super fun light hearted read and I enjoyed it a lot!
