If you are active on Bookstagram or bottom, you could not miss this hype in 2021. I always saw "The love hypothesis" everywhere and got curious. And did not get disappointed. "The love hypothesis" is a very cute STEM RomCom, it was lovely to see how Olive and Adam got closer and closer, but somehow had issues with interpreting emotions.

Absolutely worth the hype!

This book made me fall in love with Ali's writing and since I read it I have not been able to stop. Adam and olive will always have a spot on my heart, this book was like a hug to my heart

I really had fun reading this story. I am always a sucker for Reylo inspired stories and with this one Ali really does deliver. I liked the women in STEM theme and how she writes realistic struggles. Overall, I thought the story was a fun quick read.

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood is a delightful and humorous romance that is a perfect fit for readers who adore lighthearted, feel-good stories about strong, intelligent women in STEM fields, and are looking for a charming, witty, and sexy tale of fake dating that explores the complexities of love and relationships.

I have loved everything that Ali Hazelwood has done!! Somehow this was the last one I read and although most people say this isn’t their favorite, I really loved it. I know it features a lot of the typical tropes we see in romance novels but honestly when they are done correctly, so what. That’s what makes me love romance to begin with!!!

Love to see the STEM representation! Throw in Fake Dating and I could not resist. These two had incredible banter and chemistry, it's a slow burn but soo worth it. They were just wholesome, quirky nerds that you couldn't help but root for

I waited so long to read it because I was worried I wouldn't like it based on the reviews I'd seen, but then I realized it was on Netgalley so I had to review it.

I liked the story, I thought it was fine, but I don't necessarily understand all the five-star hype. Maybe because I'm not a scientist and didn't go do grad school or do a doctorate? I am an engineer though, so I could relate to the male-dominated-field aspect. I can't imagine dating a professor, though, even if he wasn't my professor. Ick! And she basically assaulted a random professor in the school hallway? Extra ick.

Overall the characters felt a lot younger than their supposed ages. It felt like YA except with sex, especially with Anh nagging Olive to publicly display affection to Adam. Forcing her to kiss him in public? I wouldn't even have wanted to kiss my fiance in that situation.

I got super annoyed by the constant descriptions of how big Adam was. We get it, he's a giant, and you're a tiny delicate twig.

I wish Olive's described demisexuality would have been discussed more, I feel like that could have added some depth and interest. There was only the "something's wrong with me" thoughts from Olive and none of the "oh, no, I'm just demisexual and that's okay".

I did love the culmination of Olive's professional issue and how Adam defended her--this was the best part. Otherwise, it was fine, not good not terrible, but I'm not sure I totally get the hype. Not upset I read it, but I'm not pushing the next book up my TBR any.

I really enjoyed this one, especially the academic scene and the grumpy guy trope. Knowing that Adam is modeled after Adam Driver was a delightful discovery.

Loved this book, strong women In stem need more attention. The book was cute and I felt accurately represented the struggles of academia and stem

While the premise was interesting, I found the writing hard to engage with. I have a hard time with romances where the lack of communication is a significant plot point, so this one wasn't for me.

The Love Hypothesis is beyond good. So amazing. Truly the birth of a new romantic comedy queen. It is the perfect enemies to lovers, fake dating setup. The banter is great, the chemistry is off the charts, and I literally swooned. SO GOOD.

I had to wait a while for the hype to die down before reading this one, but although some of the situations where a little silly and over the top, I ended up enjoying my time with this one. As someone who will bend this way and that to try not to make a fuss, I can understand a friend wanting to make herself appear to be off the market so her friend and her ex can finally give it a go, like they should have a long time ago.

For some reason, I've been holding out on the Ali Hazelwood hype train but I definitely get it now! This one was a lot of fun. Olive is a great female main character. She is smart, determined and unapologetically herself. Adam is an amazing new book boyfriend. You can't help but love him and his grumpy attitude. I loved the setting of science and academia and I can't wait to check out more from Hazelwood. I already bought Love Theoretically!

Only docking a star because I wanted to SCREAM the whole time Olive wasn't communicating with Adam. Although it's only a short time, it still annoys me when lack of communication is a plot device.

I enjoyed this Booktok sensation! Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for the opportunity to read in exchange for a review!

Listennnnn

This had me cheesing the entire time I read it. The squealy butterflies were there and the banter and spicy scenes were top notch.

I am not smart enough for some of the sciencey scenes, and I cannot ever imagine Adam Driver as a love interest no matter how hard I try I am so sorry

Super fun characters, super lively love story, and feminist STEM representation to boot. What's not to love? This deserves all the accolades it's been getting.

Fabulous rom-com fiction!! I loved the zany Olive and Adam romance. I think it's good when heroines are anxious, flawed and make bumbling mistakes. It makes them feel relatable and real. I loved the academic love story and all the nerdy science. I think the tension between Adam and Olive is palpable. Romance is all about the will they or won't they and Hazelwood keeps you on the hook. I definitely stayed up late reading this. The side kicks and friends are also well written, and I appreciate the diversity in the characters. Loved this romance!! It reminds me of a Jane Austen style romance but updated with professors in the twentieth century. Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this hilarious romance!!

I quite enjoyed this, mostly due to the main character being demisexual. That feels rare (certainly not something I've come across before, anyway).

This was witty, featured diverse, intelligent & ethical characters & was a quick read for someone who often takes forever reading a book these days.

My one quibble is that there is the trope of thin girl/muscular guy.

Oh, I included this on a reading recommendation list of spicy romance & can confirm -- it's spicy

Content warnings: lengthy explicit sex scene

This was a hard one for me to get through. I had to put it down for months before revisiting to finish it up. I couldn't get past the outlandish plot, and so I gave it a rest. When I picked it back up, I felt more available to suspend logic and let the story play out. I ended up enjoying it, but was disappointed with the overall journey to get to the end. I still enjoyed it, but it wasn't the riveting page-turner I hoped it would be.

This was so cute! Absolutely lived up to the hype. I loved the grumpy, surly scientist who unexpectedly goes along with his much sunnier colleague's fake dating scheme--this was just the right blend of zany, cute, and steamy without a hint of eye-rolling anywhere.

I can't wait to see what Ms Hazelwood comes up with next!
