Loved this! What a fun romcom. When it seems like true love is just not in the cards, you never know what might unexpectedly happen.

Another good book by the duo. The humor was in point and the characters were fun. Fizzy was fun and extravagant and I think more women would like to be like her. It wasn’t quite enemies to lovers trope, but the love story started before the main event of the TV show The Love Experiment.

Yet another hit by my absolute favorite romance duo.

I had so much fun following Fizzy's story. Although the book is a standalone, there are some references to The Soulmate Equation which I would also recommend. The crossovers were so cute!

Fizzy is such a fun main character, and Connor is swoony! The premise of the reality TV show was nothing short of adorable, and the spice... Oh gosh. Their chemistry was very much there, and I throughly enjoyed readin about their journey.

Would definitely recommend!

unlike most people I have not been as big a fan of CL books but I loved this one truly a lot. Loved both leads and the story, and chemistry and other characters were great!

I’ve been a huge fan of Christina Lauren for years and was so honored to be approved of an arc for their latest release True Love Experiment. This was the perfect romantic comedy to me! From the first page on, I was hooked. I loved the characters and I found the premise to be very different than what we are accustomed to nowadays. The banter between Fizzy and Connor was off the charts. Fizzy was a relatable character. She was vulgar in ways that wasn’t off putting. Great way to kick off the summer season!

A sweet and light romance from Christina Lauren. They are a powerhouse author duo who know how to break your heart and make you laugh.

A delightful sequel to Soul Mate Equation with romance author Fizzy Chen taking her rightful spot as the heroine. I enjoyed True Love Experiment, but felt that it was lacking when compared to Soul Mate Equation. The characters were good, but felt slightly flat. I felt that the plot was rushed. But the steam was good!

I loved Fizzy and Connor! This was such a fun romance with a great message about getting out of your comfort zone. The dating show premise was so engaging and I was really hooked by the connection between the characters. I always appreciate when authors can create conflict in romantic relationships without a ton of ridiculous twists and the authors were able to do just that. Loved the ending, loved revisiting the world of The Soulmate Equation, and loved the side characters! This is a great read, especially for romance fans. Thank you to Christina Lauren (both), Gallery Books, and NetGalley for an ARC of this title in exchange for my honest review.

Christina Lauren never disappoints. Another excellent romantic comedy book to enjoy on a sunny day. I enjoyed this book and couldn't put it down. It has all the elements of an enjoyable story and I would recommend this book to my friends and fans of Christina Lauren.

I’m giving up on this one. I am just not enjoying it. I don’t like the main character. She’s vulgar in not a good way. All she talks about is sex and dicks. Which is fine but it's not a character I can connect with. It was just distracting and made her seem surface level. She had no real depth and isn't someone I'd even be friends with. With that said, it definitely added to my lack of feeling to their connection. To me it just sounded like an inevitable work fuck buddy situation. Not a love match. I ultimately just didn’t care about the story.

This book was a perfect journey through the emotions and challenges of knowing yourself and being willing to open yourself up to another person. It was an absolute page-turner that I have already been recommending to any peers who also love this genre.

Dear Christina Lauren:

You ladies know how to give readers what they want: a unique premise, a confident leading lady, a British love interest, seriously good banter, and a grand gesture that puts all other gestures to shame! Bonus points for the pop culture references and gifting romance readers characters who respect the genre!

As a longtime fan, I am sorry this book is already here and read. I now have to wait far too long for whatever is next, but I promise to be here with open arms for whatever story you gals gift us with!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC copy of this novel. Christina Lauren doesn't experiment when it comes to writing great novels. This one was perfect! The characters were interesting and engaging and while you had an idea where the story was going, the entire story was entertaining. I did not want to put it down once I started it. This book should be at the top of everyone's summer reading list!

The True Love Experiment is creative and hilarious and I had so much fun reading it! Every time I put the book down, I immediately started to feel excited about the next time I could get back to it. It was a little steamier than I usually care for, but I loved Fizzy and Connor so much that it didn’t even bother me. This is one of Christina Lauren’s best (if not THE best) and will definitely be a top 5 contender for me this year!

I haven’t read a lot by Christina Lauren, but this book was so fun and easy to get into! She writes the characters as full well rounded humans and I was so happy with the ending! Can’t wait to recommend this to everyone when it comes out!!!

Christina Lauren's books are hit or miss for me, sadly with more misses than hits. Once again, I am in the minority because The True Love Experiment missed the mark for me. Unfortunately, I didn't really connect with the characters, although I liked Connor more than Fizzy, who I found to be annoying and immature. The book seemed unnecessarily long - probably because I was so bored with it. I don't typically DNF, but I certainly considered it with this one.

Fizzy and Connor met all of my Christina Lauren expectations! In fact, this one might be my new favorite novel from the dynamic duo. I loved the banter and romance. This one should be added to everyone's beach bag this summer.

I absolutely loved and devoured this book. I was a little wary because the main character is a person of color and both authors are white. But I liked that they addressed this at the end of the book. I really enjoyed the relationship between Fizzy and Connor. I wanted maybe a bit more of the smaller moments so you could see them fall in love a bit more. That is my only complaint but I love Christina Lauren! They are great authors and I was pleased with this book.

I loved The Soulmate Equation so much, and I loved how much it made me think about science and soulmates. I was delighted to see that Christina Lauren wrote another book in this world. And even better, it included my favorite trope: a romance competition. This book grabbed my attention and kept it until I was finished.

Thank you Netgalley and Gallery Books for my advanced e-copy in exchange for my honest review.

Let me start out by saying that I did not read The Soulmate Equation. I know our main character, Fizzy, was a character in that book as well. I don't feel that I missed anything by picking this one up as a standalone. This is my second book by this duo, The Unhoneymooners, was my first, and I didn't love either.

In the True Love Experiment Fizzy is a well known romance writer agreeing to star on a reality dating show where matches are based on DNA. In my personal life I am not a fan of any reality tv shows, I thought maybe I would feel different reading about them, but apparently not.

As Fizzy prepares for the taping of the show, she finds herself completely drawn to the producer, Connor. I do admit that I enjoyed the banter and flirtation between the two. Fizzy is a very strong female character and I can always appreciate that. And I love that Connor is a guy's guy. And I kind of loved the single dad aspect of this as well.

Overall, it was cute but I didn't seem to really connect with these characters.
