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.

As always with Ali Hazelwood, it’s a lovely STEM romance with a bit of spice. I loved that he was as unsure as she was and that the science is always accurate enough not to annoy me as a fellow biologist!
