Not in Love
by Ali Hazelwood
Not in Love was so different from any of Ali Hazelwood's previous books and in the BEST way! If you’ve ever liked a book or two of hers but found them too formulaic, you definitely WON’T find that here.
Rue and Eli were such realistic characters. Seeing their emotional vulnerability was so beautiful, yet utterly heart breaking. Rue was always so hesitant to put one foot in front of the other, but Eli was so patient with her and which made him super swoon-worthy. No matter what life throws at you, you are always going to need that one specific person to hold your hand as you navigate life's obstacles, and I truly loved watching Eli be that person for Rue. I just wanted to hug both of them as they were unpacking their personal life stories full of emotional damage.
Eli is SO OBSESSED with Rue. He literally said, “I’ll cook, clean, take care of you, love you unconditionally, and worship the ground you walk on even if i get none of that in return.”
He looks at Rue like nothing else exists in the world. “I forget to look at other things, when you’re around.”
He is so gentle and considerate and sweet and respectful. I can't- 😭😭🙌
Ali is mostly known for her STEM romances but this book is more than just STEM, romance, and smut — it's about growth, forgiveness, finding love in the most unexpected places, and learning about yourself and what you are capable of. Not in Love, in my opinion, is her most standout and deepest book so far. I loved it so much!
