Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood
5.0
Okay, I can admit that I read Love on the Brain with very large rosetinted glasses because I loved The Love Hypothesis. HOWEVER, the reason I know that this book is better than that one and actually good is simple: Love, Theoretically made me feel exactly like TLH did when I read it. I really loved this book.
I was originally a bit perplexed as to why the book was so long when in 150 pages everything was going so well. And then I realized I was a total fucking idiot??? I don’t know how I didn’t see it coming, and I am very ashamed to say that I did not. But alas, I did not see it coming. After page 171, however I did see everything else coming. My powers of clairvoyance took a hit, pero remontamos.
Regardless of whether or not it is predictable, I liked it. Jack Smith-Turner is the love of my life and I’m not afraid to say it. And Elsie’s, uhm, issues, hit a little too close to home for me. That shit hurt to read. But oh my god it made things so much better.
Once again tho, Ali Hazelwood owns my heart.
The only thing that I wish was different is that, I just wish it was MORE of a slow burn. I feel like once the romance started it went on the normal track of a normal romance while at the same time trying to paint itself like it wasn’t a normal romance? Just because they wait one night doesn’t make it slow. It would’ve made things a lot more tense too.
