THIS. BOOK. If you have not read The Love Hypothesis🔬 by Ali Hazelwood, stop what you are doing RIGHT NOW and go read it. IT. IS. AMAZING.

Up to this point, I had only been reading books included in my Kindle Unlimited subscription, but when my best friend told me I had to read this book, I couldn’t say no and purchased the paperback immediately. And MAN, am I so glad that I read it AND that I got the paperback so that I could make notes in it.

Here are my top reasons for loving this book:
1. Adam Carlsen. Enough said. 😍
2. The fact that there’s genuinely a plot-line to follow that was STEM-based, which is rare, and very interesting to follow along with.
3. CHAPTER. SIXTEEN. 😍🌶 OMG. OMG. That chapter gave me allllllll the butterflies.
4. Let’s be real. I had butterflies the entire time. I genuinely laughed out loud and clutched my heart in “aww”s so many times throughout this book.
5. The hypotheses provided at the start of every chapter. Loved them so much.
6. Adam Carlsen. Because, he’s worth noting twice. 😍🥰

My only semi, semi, semi critique is in regard to the overuse of cut-off dialogue. The amount of half sentences ending in -- or … kinda drove me nuts. Also, I think I will forever prefer a book that’s written in 1st person POV or alternating POVs rather than 3rd person POV. BUT neither of these critiques took away from how amazing this book was to me.

Please, please, PLEASE go read The Love Hypothesis🔬 by Ali Hazelwood. I finished this book in 2 nights and a total of about 9 hours. I actually pulled an all-nighter to read during the first night because I just could not put it down. Needless to say, I 1000000% recommend this book and will 1000000% be re-reading it again, maybe even sooner rather than later.
