Reviews with content warning for Death of parent - Love, theoretically. La fisica dell'amore

Oh. My. Gosh. I'm in love with this book. I started reading it as a joke, but I fell in love with the characters and the plot and literally just everything. This is the perfect book and will now be my permanent go-to for anytime I need a comfort read. My favorite part of this book by far was just the relationship between Jack and Elsie. Could it have gotten any better? No. It was that good. I love the way he is in love with her (he learned everything he possibly could about diabetes for her, for gods sake) and I love the way she learns to better herself for him. I love the way they talk to each other and the things that they do together to make the other person in the relationship happy. For real though, 10/10 read!!! I loved every second of it and it was such a great book. Please, please, please read this if you are looking for something uplifting and adorable <3

Such a cute romance. I loved the emotionality of this book. The development of both main characters but especially the first. The journey was sad but moving and hopeful. I loved how

Jack pushed her to grow, to be honest and herself. How he cared for her and making her feel wanted, loved, secure. That it was okay to want things for yourself, to not mold yourself around other people's ideal. I love that he he helped her get out of that mindset. I also love the women supporting other women. How they won't bash each other. How even if they failed they want the other to succeed. I loved the subtle lgbtqia+ rep, like with the demisexual and aromantic and women couples. I felt seen. I loved her finally telling her mom to shove it and her mom ends up trying to be better which is nice.

the main thing I disliked was

how hypocritical Jack was at the end, how he lied to her this whole time when he's been trying to get her to be completely honest yet not doing the same. But thats where we see some development from him. I like that he made it right in the science world though, both because of it being the right thing and overdue but also for her.
