Reviews with content warning for Sexual harassment - The Love Hypothesis

The Love Hypothesis
Rating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had been putting off reading this book for so long, and now I wish I hadn't. It was a wonderful introduction to the world of Ali Hazelwood books. I found this to be the perfect light read/palate cleanser! It was cute, quirky, and enjoyable. I loved the FMC's inner monolgue and both Olive's (FMC) and Adam's (MMC) banter and sense of humor. I also really appreciated and loved the representation of women in STEM. I feel like we need more books like it that can represent this underserved subject. I did wish there were a few more physical descriptors of the characters, as I did not really grasp what any of the characters looked like other than generic traits, and I did feel like the "big" event at the end was a little rushed and undetailed. BUT, overall, I really liked this book! It was just what I needed... a quick, fun read!

I gave this one a 3 because I really enjoyed it. I wanted to know what happened to the characters and see how their journeys played out. However, I was pretty annoyed by the miscommunication trope, as most of us are. I find Ali Hazelwood's FMCs both so relatable and so frustrating. The side characters though, I always ADORE, the book boyfriends too. I swear this isn't internalized misogyny, I think it's that I want what's best for the FMC and she often gets in her own way.

I did read this right after finishing up Iron Flame so it could have just been lost in the shadow of my last read and not hit me in the same way I wanted it to. It was a fun romance book with fun characters and side stories so I would recommend it's just nothing that touched me or made me super excited.

I had heard very mixed things about this book so wasn't really expecting to like it but I really did. I really loved the academia setting. It's a very wholesome romcom with fake dating and grumpy sunshine tropes. As a PhD student I really related to the characters. It was just a really nice light-hearted book all round
