The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
emotional
funny
lighthearted
medium-paced
4.5
“The Love Hypothesis” is just a really cute romance story.
This is supported by the nice writing style of the author, the characters who are just hilarious sometimes, and the fact that it’s not a typical setting - instead it’s academia with post-/grad students and the experience of the author really shows through.
But, and that’s what keeps it at 4 stars for me: it’s a typical romance with typical tropes (fake-dating and falling in love, enemies to lovers, …) and great characters in an exciting setting.
