Description

Based on the available information and the data hitherto collected, my hypothesis is that the further I stay away from love, the better off I will be. 'Contemporary romance's unicorn: the elusive marriage of deeply brainy and delightfully escapist.' Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners When a fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction, it throws one woman's carefully calculated theories on love into chaos. As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships but her best friend does, and that's what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive on her way to a happily ever after was always going to be tough, scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting woman, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees. That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when he agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire and Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support (and his unyielding abs), their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. Olive soon discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope. What the five star reviews are saying about The Love Hypothesis: 'Did I read this in 24 hours? Yes.' 'Funny. Snarky. Intelligent. Real.' 'If you're even slightly thinking about getting this book to read, just go a head and do it' 'Adam is just swoon' 'Ali Hazelwood has made herself an auto-buy author' 'It was just... perfect.' 'A heroine you will instantly fall in love with' Read more

    • Absolutely loved it
I loved this SO VERY MUCH. It's one of those books that left me smiling like a fool, with a full heart and a strong desire to start reading it all over again. The evolution of these characters from start to finish is intense, and I absolutely loved how everything came full circle by the end. One of my favorite parts of the story was trying to decipher our hero's quiet looks, moods, and glances - there is some outstanding subtlety to this love story. And it is definitely a love story. The romance is central throughout, with a light, fresh feel that gets richer and deeper as the story progresses. It tackles difficult subjects like sexual harassment and self-worth, while also remaining exceedingly light and uplifting for much of the book. And by the end? I was content, happy, and oh so satisfied to finally see these two fools get together. The story follows Olive, a 26-year-old grad student trying to cure cancer. She is still finding her confidence, but she loves what she's doing. So when Olive's best friend develops feelings for the guy Olive just started dating, she does the logical thing... kiss a random man to make her friend believe that it's all okay. Or at least that seemed logical at the time. Turns out, the random stranger that Olive kissed is none other than the most hated professor around, Adam (34). And while Olive has no desire to spend time with Adam, her impulsive act means that entering a fake relationship with the man is actually a good idea. But as the two get to know each other better, Olive discovers that the mercurial, moody professor might just be a sweetheart underneath his broody exterior. This is one of those books where the love story is SO completely unique. It's awkward, science-filled love - and I adored every minute of it. Sure, Olive might've been a bit too peppy and upbeat for me at the beginning, but that's all part of her character evolution. I loved the grumpy/sunshine dynamic, and Adam becomes such a swoonworthy cinnamon roll by the end (with a little bit of alpha gruffness). It's a slow burn romance with one incredibly intimate and dynamic love scene - the intimacy and emotional connection are the shining stars here. Well, it's all pretty great, actually. This has such a vivid, distinct voice that I am very much looking forward to whatever's next from Hazelwood. Audio note: I switched back and forth between the audio and the ebook throughout - and the audio was excellent. This is told exclusively from Olive's point of view, so there's one narrator. She did a great job. The vibe feels young and fresh, with a voice that actually sounds like a 26-year-old. As a slow burn romance, this is perfect for listening at work - there's nothing steamy until later on, and the story is light and easy much of the time. Your only issue will likely be that work will take a backseat to listening, lol. The runtime is a bit longer than I'd like (11 hours), and I found it difficult to listen to the narrator's voice at a faster speed. I have no desire for the book to be shorter though, so just know that it may take awhile to get through. Overall, an excellent audiobook to go with an incredible read. ... show more

    • Cheesy is a good way
This is my second Ali Hazelwood book. The first being Bride earlier this year. I have been reluctant to pick this up because I knew that it originated as a Reylo fic, and I don’t particularly care about Star Wars or Reylo. However, after reading Bride, I really wanted more Ali Hazelwood and I am oh so glad I picked this up. This is cute and sweet. It’s cheesy, but it knows that it is, and I think that makes it all the better. Olive is adorable. She is probably not going to be everyone’s favorite FMC but she’s dorky and believable. I am generally not a fan of miscommunication but most of the miscommunication in this feels like real life. Adam is cute. I really wish this was dual POV. I would LOVE to experience the pining and brooding that I know was going on in his head. But alas. We only get second hand accounts of it. This book has demi-representation, although it’s never explicitly stated. Olive only feels attraction with already established emotional bonds. That also made it really sweet. This was very lightly spicy and the scene that was was well done Overall, it’s fun and cute. A perfect summer romcom. This was easy to read and I finished it very quickly. I will probably pick up the next book because I’ve heard the series just gets better. 4.25/5 stars ... show more

    • Loved It
I loved this book! It was sooooo good! This was my first time reading something by this author, and I am totally in love. I really love her writing style. The characters were super smart but not so smart that everything went over my head. I just loved Olive. She and Adam just clicked. I loved their banter and how they just grounded each other. I loved how Adam just wanted to take care of Olive and was willing to do anything to help her. This is a great story, and I definitely recommend giving it a try. ... show more
