The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
2.0
funny lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Sweet, but the power dynamics made me uncomfortable. The main character was a graduate student and the love interest was a professor. It was pretty unplausible, but if you're willing to suspend your disbelief for a cotton-candy story, it's sweet (with basically zero nutritional value). Watch out for the complete tone-shift in the last fifth of the story, though.
The sexual assault was pretty jarring, especially because the whole story previously had been fluffy, sweet, and generally completely unserious.
Aside from that, it's alright.
