adventurous challenging emotional funny fast-paced

I went into this book thinking I was going to love it, but shortly after starting it wasn't sure if it was for me. And while I definitely liked Bride (my only other Ali Hazelwood read, so far) more, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I ending up enjoying this book overall! I think it's mostly due to Ali's incredible writing that I enjoyed it so much despite it not being my usual cup of tea, and I'm immediately requesting The Love Hypothesis from the library!

5684828389384⭐️ let us be real, Ali Hazelwood just writes men better than most.

This book was everything, it somehow managed to top the other one I read not even that long ago(Not, in love), and I’m sure the next one I read will be my next favourite and so on. Scarlett was stunning, positively hilarious, the way she grew through the book, stunning, 10/10 no notes. Barb was also stunning, positively perfection, when she says ‘mi account es tu account’ I LOST IT! Such a sport, love her.

To be honest, I pretty much loved all characters, Pen, has her moment where I did not want to hear of her, but thank you for offering us a redemption arc worthy of her atoning for the rest of her life.

Now, Lukas, just, how?! Ali Hazelwood the woman that you are sending me on an existential crisis because this man is just too perfect. The ending sentence, like, excuse me, HOW DARE YOU?!

I need to go stare at a wall. I will be in the ‘deep end’ (pun intended) for the foreseeable, k bye.

2.0

the 2 stars are for adam & olive's cameos btw.
no chemistry between the characters, no real plot (or is the smut part the entire plot ?)
the characters have no personality other than the swimming and diving thing (well and the swedish thing for lukas since it is mentioned in every page)
so basically she sleeps with her friend's ex bf ? he had a "crush" on her for 2 years while he was with said friend, dreamed about her 2 years before while he was with said friend ? and wtf he tells her he got into stanford DURING SEX ?
