Though Ali Hazelwood tends to have a formulaic approach to her novels, they’re still so much fun!

Love, Theoretically focused more on academia, and, as someone who was highly involved in higher Ed, I appreciate the way power dynamics and everyday struggles were accurately portrayed.

The one thing that did annoy me, though, was that the whole “honesty” thing reminded me of “naked truth” from It Ends With Us.

Overall, this was a fun book!

DELIGHTFUL! Is Ali Hazelwood a perfect author? No. Are her (male) characters all pretty much the same? Yes. But do I have an absolute ball reading her books? Heck yeah! Something about her romances is so compulsive and readable and makes me never want to put her books down. I just…really enjoy her books, okay?

Musically, I should hire a tuba to follow me around.

Elsie is so effortlessly hilarious, I love her. Also loved the Olive and Adam's cameo. Don't tell them that possibly I love this book more than I did theirs oops-

Another great novel by Ali Hazelwood. In the author's own words, this is "a love story set against the backdrop of academic politics." It also talks clearly about the misery of a person with a Ph.D. trying to get a decent-paying job with benefits.

Once again, her books follow the standard romantic trope, but that is not what most of the book is about. It's what makes her romance books stand out.

I’ve previously been kind of “meh” about Hazelwood’s books but I feel like this might’ve been her best one yet. Likeable, relatable characters for the most part, a realistic story arc and actual real-life issues? Great stuff. Not amazing-life changing, but very solid.
