The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

5.0

---

This was the best standalone book I read in 2021. I absolutely loved the representation of badass women in STEM, Olive serves as a role model for aspiring young adults and acknowledges the real hardships that women in all fields currently face. Ali Hazelwood is somehow able to combine a comforting feel good tone while not shying away from the aspects of life that often aren't shown in media. I laughed, cried, and smiled throughout the book. I loved Olive as a character and felt like the socially awkward nerd in me connected to her in a really special way. I read the book in one sitting and it is such an easy and fun read regardless of your circumstances.
