The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
3.0
The pros of this book are that it's set in the STEM field and the writing is fairly good. I HATED Tom but we're supposed to so the author did a good job there.
The negatives are that it's originally a Reylo fanfic. Adam Driver is one of the least sexy people to me so I was trying to make myself NOT thinking about him. Olive was pretty much a Mary Sue because there was nothing all that descriptive or anything that stood out to me.
Overall it wasn't that bad. It's nice to get STEM representation. The author didn't even refer to any kind of map when talking about Stanford and Palo Alto. She clearly has never been because it's not a hilly area! She also mentions there are no bike lanes and there's a bunch. Haha.
Overall, the writing is decent enough and I appreciated the STEM representation.

Spoiler
While the love scene was pretty steamy, I didn't love that the protection conversation was kind of glossed over. Adam seemed WAY more aggressive during the the scene than the entire book. It felt out of character just so the author could write a dominating sex scene.Overall, the writing is decent enough and I appreciated the STEM representation.
