The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
4.5
Awwww, this was so freaking CUTE! It honestly made me feel all mushy inside. I was constantly smiling throughout this entire novel.
To be fair, how could I possibly not love it? Adam is such a dreamboat and Olive is truly an incredibly likable main character. Their match-up felt very natural and well-suited. I love the whole grumpy/sunshine trope, and Adam definitely delivered on the ‘grump’ front. What I loved most about it though, was how sweet and caring he was towards Olive. You can genuinely tell how much he loved her. It made my heart flutter. Seriously, it fluttered.
I can only imagine how much I would have swooned reading Adam's POV. Not that I minded only reading Olive's as she was super entertaining and lovely, but still... Just IMAGINE his POV. *sigh*
The side characters contributed nicely to the story as well and I really liked Malcolm and Holden.
I also really loved the overall plotline. It was interesting and flowed well. The setting was quite original and fun.
Anyway, there were some things that could have been executed a bit better. Especially near the end, things started to slack a little bit. I would have loved to see some of the later situations and emotions explored more in detail, since they sometimes felt a bit empty or out of the blue. Some actions and miscommunications also seemed kind of stupid for no reason other than to further the plot or create drama.
However, these issues didn't diminish the general love I felt for this novel and these characters, so I'm not going to dwell on it. This was just an absolute blast to read and I simply adored it.
