I need Christina Lauren to put out five more book right now. I love their romances! Fizzy is such a fun character and I loved her dynamic with Connor. I could start this book over right now and read it straight through again! Love love love

This book is a charming and heartfelt romance that had me rooting for the characters from the very beginning. The story follows the relationship between a romance writer and a documentary filmmaker who decide to fall in love while the romance writer is on a reality tv show.

What sets this book apart from other romance novels is its unique premise and its ability to tackle complex themes such as friendship, love, and the fear of commitment. The author's writing is engaging and heartfelt, with characters that feel both relatable and authentic. I found myself invested in the story and eager to see how the characters' relationship would unfold.

One of the things I loved most about this book was the way it explored the idea of true love and what it really means to be in a committed relationship. The characters' journey is both emotional and thought-provoking, and the author's ability to capture the complexities of human emotion is truly impressive.

Overall, "The True Love Experiment" is a delightful and entertaining read that will appeal to anyone looking for a smart and engaging romance. Christina Lauren are talented writers who have crafted a story that is both heartfelt and insightful, and I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a satisfying and uplifting read.

I just adore Christina Lauren! The True Love Experiment was an amazing escape that followed Fizzy and Connor as they starred and produced a new reality True Love Experiment show. While Fizzy may not be connecting with her new suitors, she is certainly heating up with the prince producer. This hot love story will keep you rooting for true love!

When I read this book’s prequel, The Soulmate Equation, I definitely fell for the grumpy Oscar Isaac-like scientist, River. As someone in the industry, I would have never felt to be even more into the TV executive, but oh my god! The chemistry between Fizz and Connor is off the charts! I loved how Christina Lauren invested a lot of time in building the couple’s friendship while gradually building up the steam. Both books are very good at exploring what makes the right partner and are fun reads.

I loved The Soulmate Equation so much and absolutely loved this book as well. I loved Fizzy's life and her falling in love with Connor was so cute. I loved the Bachelor esc. vibes while also including characters and concepts we knew and loved in The Soulmate Equation.

Thank you to Christina Lauren, Gallery Books, and NetGalley for my eARC in exchange for this review.

What an adorably cute rom-com. I loved Fizzy's character. At first I was afraid that the whole romance author bit was going to be too cliched but I didn't feel that way at all while reading. Fizzy is hilarious and has such a cute, fun and friendly vibe. I loved the dynamic between Jess, River, Juno and Fizzy, and also Conner and his daughter Stevie, I find in these type of books that I do not like the male love interest, but I really did like Conner and thought he was a refreshingly realistic guy. The ending of the book, and some moments in between were a bit predictable but for me that does not bother me in a rom-com. I also thought I was going to have a hard time with reality tv part of the book, but I think it was done really well and added a lot to the over all plot.

This is going to be a great summer romance read for sure. I highly recommend this book if you are a fan of this genre, and want a overall quick and good read.

Oh my goodness, Fizzy is a QUEEN! I am so excited that she got her own story and her hot tongue just kept going. Her banter with Connor is incredible and oh so lustful (and omg, the way she typecast him as Hot Brit, then sexy Billionaire, then Kendall Roy mixed with a Lego? Pure amazingness). Those longing glances while filming their reality show? Delectable. Their joy excursion to see Wonderland (and the bioluminescence)? Mind blowing. Their story as a whole? Utter perfection.

I really enjoyed the concept of Connor producing a dating show based on River’s technology and Fizzy’s personality. The 8 Heroes were amazing archetypes and I only wish I could have watched the show in real life!

Fizzy is a strong, exuberant, lovable character and I loved the continued appearances of Juno, Jess and River from The Soulmate Equation. Connor is equally lovable and self aware. His relationship with Stevie was utterly adorable and his co-parenting with Nat was refreshing (plus his hilarious but well-meaning digs against Insu).

As always, another winner from Christina Lauren!

Well, that was just cute. I liked Fizzy in The Soulmate Equation, so it was a no-brainer to request the book that featured Fizzy as the protagonist. And, I'm not going to lie, this book is definitely not for everyone. Fizzy says what she wants and does what she wants and, in return, that can come off as uncouth, unsympathetic, or even bratty. However, I have no issues with any of those things, so I definitely enjoyed this one!

It's definitely your standard Christina Lauren/romcom book. However, Fizzy and Connor are a great couple, and Stevie is definitely adorable. The reality show TV back drop is great, and I like the unique spin the book puts on that trope. In the end, everyone gets their HEA. And really, when you're reading a romcom book, isn't that all you want?

The Soulmate Equation was Christina Lauren’s best book in years, so I was super excited for The Truelove Experiment. For the most part it completely lived up to my hype. This book was super fun (Fun lake fizzy!) Of course I had some issue with the way this bachelor style TV show was rolled out, but I ultimately don’t care about that. What I care about is liking my two main characters. And I really liked Fizzy and Connor. More importantly I liked them together. This is a book about chemistry and this couple has chemistry. This is top-tier Christina Lauren banter, and I’m here for it!

Thank you #netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A good read -- I thought the characters were well-developed and I really enjoyed their dynamic/chemistry. Really enjoyed getting to see Fizzy's story played out and loved seeing a romance novelist as the lead character.

As a fan of reality TV, this book was super fun to read. You hope for the ending you want, but enough twists to keep you guessing. Loved this book

I loved Christina Lauren's The Soulmate Equation and was excited to read Fizzy's story in The True Love Experiment, but it left me with mixed feelings.

Things I liked:
Fizzy's personality and sense of humor; she basically put the com in romcom.
Fizzy and Connor's finding joy adventures; they were basically dating and in denial.
Connor as a single dad; Connor's relationship with his daughter Stevie was super sweet.
River, Jess and Juno; getting to see so much of my favorites from The Soulmate Equation was an unexpected treat.

Things I didn't like:
The Bachelor-like reality show setting; Fizzy basically dating 8 other guys was not enjoyable.
Fizzy being the one to apologize; She had a very understandable reaction to Connor's confession.
The quick resolution at the end; it was a bit rushed and anticlimactic.

Overall, The True Love Experiment was a solid 3 star read.

Wow!! How do I start a review when I am speechless!

This was my first read from the duo that is Christina Lauren and I am completely OBSESSED!!!!!!!

The Premise-a successful romance writer (who is in a slump) is cast for the lead in a reality dating TV show and falls for the show’s producer (single dad and British). There are 8 men (each their own unique archetype) that the audience gets to vote off. However-throughout filming, Fizzy and Connor begin to fall for each other. The flirting and banter between them is witty and humorous that it makes you fall in love with their characters while laughing out loud. I was rooting for them from the start-even with the introduction of some pretty neat bachelors they had chosen for the show.
The Characters-Fizzy is that feisty, selfless, loveable woman who we dream of becoming. Connor is the positive, calm, supportive man we dream of sleeping next to.
The Ending-THE ENDING! Ugh-incredible! I was smiling for pages and not wanting the story to end. I don't want to give any spoilers away but it was the perfect way to end a perfect book.

I am fixated with CL and am now a forever fan. I am so excited to read more of their books that are on their way to my house as I am writing this. TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!!!

This was cute! Not my favorite by them, because I wasn’t the biggest fan of Fizzy, but I did think this was cute and it was a fun concept!!

Christina Lauren never disappoints. I don't know why, but I didn't realize this was going to be related to The Soulmate Equation, so that was a little treat. It was nice to see what Jess and River were up to. I loved the new characters as well and the way the romance unfolded. I also really enjoyed the reality tv element of it (I'm a big Bravo fan). I smiled so much while reading this book, and I could not put it down. I'm not sure if I'll think about it in the future, but I really enjoyed it while reading it. Thank you to NetGalley and Gallery Books for this ARC!

I LOVED this book! From the first pages, I was laughing out loud and hooked. The pacing of this book was excellent along with the character development. This book has so much pining and sexual tension and it's so well done! The True Love Experiment is everything you love about a romance book with heart, humor, and authenticity. This is a stand-out from CLo!

I was so happy to receive an ARC of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Christina and Lauren have done it again! They are masters of this genre and their sequel to The Soulmate Equation lives up to their prior body of work. In this case, a romance writer (meta much?) is dating a reality show producer. We all know the familiar tropes, but the twists, turns, tensions, and feelings to get to finish line are an enjoyable ride.

Thank you to Gallery Books and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

4.5/5⭐️ another cute and swoony read from CLo! I loved The Soulmate Equation, and this was just as good! Connor >>>

I felt so lucky to get an advance copy of The True Love Experiment because it seems everyone knows and loves Christina Lauren. I have enjoyed several of their books, especially In a Holidaze and The Soulmate Equation. I had no clue this was a follow up to the latter, focusing on beloved Fizzy. I was surprised and pleasantly so. She's so engaging and hilarious and you just want to root for her.

Fizzy is in a rut work wise. She's a romance author who hasn't felt anything romantic for anyone in a year. In fact, she's contemplating that she might be broken. Until she meets Connor that is and suddenly those romantic feelings are ignited. Connor, a divorced dad, produces ocean documentaries for North Star, located in San Diego. He moved from the movie capital of LA to San Diego to be closer to his preteen daughter Stevie. Career wise it wasn't the best call, but family matters to him. Now he's been tasked with producing a reality dating show, clearly not his cup of tea, until he meets Fizzy and gets a feel for her gregarious personality. She's perfect to lead a show and together they come up with a perfect idea for the show. Working closely together has them growing closer and closer until Fizzy finally stops typecasting Connor as romance male leads, i.e. the cinnamon roll, nerdy hunk, etc. Connor too feels the connection and has to watch this woman he loves date 8 men. Is there any way these two can be together when the world is voting on who Fizzy should be with?!

I loved the stereotype of romance novels being beat down in this and Connor especially changing his views. It was very satisfying. Connor was swoony and perfect and as much as I knew where this was going, I was still so happy to be along for the ride. Rom com gold.

Going to be honest this wasn’t even on my list of anticipated releases for this year 🫣 I was not a huge fan of Something Wilder and didn’t know if I was a fan of the direction this duo was going in.

GUYS I WAS WRONG. This book was absolute perfection. Like Unhoneymooners but better type perfection. The chemistry is off the charts and the entire premise is incredible. The book is a love note to the romance genre and it will tug on your heart strings, give you all the feels, and I was definitely shedding happy tears by the end.

I absolutely loved the journeys that both Fizzy & Connor went on separately in this book. The tension all had real purpose behind it and I was rooting for them both individually and as a couple every damn page. These characters were so perfectly crafted and their struggles were relatable.

I had no idea True Love Experiment would take place in the same universe as Soulmate Equation so prep your heart for some Jess & River cameos too 😍

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
