The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
5.0

I LOVE THIS BOOK

was it a little unrealistic and escapist, perhaps, but i dont care i loved it. i had so much fun reading it. i laughed out loud and was outwardly horrified and triumphant and probably other emotions i’m forgetting. we will not talk about how long it took me to read it, i promise that was on me not on the book. i am simply lazy.

completely stealing this from another review, but i felt like i knew olive from the first page. adam was very brooding and sexy but secretly sensitive emo boy. was it a bit too obviously kylo ren? well his name was literally adam. but it was not overly fanfic-esque to me (especially compared to the first chapter excerpt of love on the brain??? i hate to say it besties but i think i will absolutely hate that book if i read it, my gut says it should’ve stayed on ao3)

the bonding scenes were soooo cute, i loved their coffee dates, and the SUNSCREEN, and the HOTEL SCENES(!!!!) i was so hooked when adam called olive by name when she hadnt told him it, i loved the callbacks to the first night. god they’re so cute together.

i love how unobservant olive is honestly it is very endearing, and i love her friendships, and i love that certain people get what they deserve. the world feels perfectly balanced between fun fake escape and real life. my favorite thing ever.

in conclusion i love this book and i love adam and olive together and did i mention i love this book:,)
