A review by softrosemint
Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood
3.25
Divorced from its context, this is actually a pretty decent romance novel. Again, compulsively readable and Elsie felt like a much more complete person outside of the romance. In fact, it felt like there was a much better distinction between the romantic plot and the academic one (which also felt a lot more realised).
Of couse, Hazelwood again falls into some of her beloved clichés and tropes that feel a little too corny (overabundant millennial speak, the LI being gone for the MC for months and wanting very bad to have sex with her, size kink, the heroine who thinks she's mousy and undersells herself, the LI being rich while the MC is poor - though at least this time he was not the solution to her financial problems). But at least I did not have to hear about how massive the LI was all the time (so I guess less of a size kink).
