Anyway, as I was in the middle of binge-reading the Bridgerton series I decided to read this one for a palette cleanser. And boy was I so thankful I decided on picking this one.
The story started with immediately introducing our two main characters Olive and Adam, and their relationship, or lack thereof. I thought it would be your typical enemies-turned-lovers where they had to fake date because of a certain reason, and then eventually fall for each other because of forced proximity. BUT NO, IT WASN'T. Okay, there were some parts that were definitely cliche BUT if you're like me and simple things makes you happy then this book is for you.
I thought the science-y things would bore me because I read somewhere that readers just skip those parts. So, I assumed that those parts would be long and boring, but no don't let the setting intimidate you because it was only some parts, and you could totally breeze thru it.
To say I loved every bit of Olive and Adam's banter, and character development together would be an understatement. I've always loved quirky female leads, and Olive easily became one of my favorites. The Love Hypothesis isn't just some story that you'd forget after reading because it was that good. I'd be definitely adding this to my reread-ables.

Also, also, women in STEM. What a novel concept (not really, but its nice to see it in the romance genre, or ANY genre, but I digress).

this is a brilliant book! i love the storyline and all the characters! i would highly recommend for 18 year olds and above. just one thing, one thing that kinda made the book slightly less enjoyable is that its in third person. it would have been a perfect 5/5 if it was in first person. but i still surprisingly really enjoyed it nonetheless. i don't even have any interest in science, but this is still managed to be fantastic for me, from the start and all the way to the ending!
just a warning though, they have some age gap. the female main character is 26 and her male love interest is 34. not that much tbh but i know that there are people that wouldn't be okay with this so i'm typing this here anyway.
