I loved this book alot. Give me butterfly omg

Ali Hazelwood has the best stem romcom books out there. Loved it!

I loved this book. The characters, the plot, the pacing and everything.

Very sexy story

The book jumps directly into the main scene and the root cause of the fake relationship between Olive and Adam. The first half of book is quite slow where the Stanford University setting is present, the daily routine, interactions and life style of our two main characters are shown. It's a bit slow paced and may be boring at parts but the second half of book is not that slow where events progress, choices are made, feelings are surfaced or sometimes forcefully buried inside. And... Beware of chapter 16, it's something which everyone will not like it and it was really too much in depth.If fake dating and rom-com genre is something new that you haven't delved in, this book is worth a try or else you can skip it also. There's only one twist in the book and if you're attentive enough, you'll make out the twist.A one-time read with a slow-burn "scientific" romance.

Good

I think The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood highlights everything that a lot of us have come to love in romance.The most attractive aspect of romance for me is the quiet moments that you can have with someone. Not just when you can be quiet with them and they with you, but the soft words you can exchange with them. Your darkest moments and deepest fears, spoken softly only for their ears.A friendship that runs deep and a familiarity that’s both surprising and not. The Love Hypothesis brings all this to the reader and more. It delivers interpersonal relationships, friendships, day to day struggles and the strength to overcome them.I’m usually not so fond of the fake-dating trope, simply because you can generally guess the direction everything heads in and know the typical stops the author will pull. However, I think my favourite part of the book is fake-dating tropes being mentioned in the book itself as a trope and all of them rolling their eyes about the rom-com happening in the life of the heroine (including the heroine). Ali Hazelwood calling out her own trope was a certainly fresh take on it and altered how it felt a reading about it. That being said, the relationship between the H and h mostly felt like a deep friendship with long held affection for one another. They slipped into that space rather naturally and it was like a warm cup of something held between my palms on a cold day.The side characters were all what gave the book so much authenticity. Sure, they added to the humour and angst between the characters, but they also provided a sense of home and love for one another. They were the protagonists’ found family but that was not their only role. They had struggles of their own and personalities outside of being a supporting character. So much so that a spin off series on them wouldn’t be out of place at all.The miscommunication trope is not my favourite and I didn’t enjoy it too much in this book either but it didn’t get dragged out and drive us mental for the most part which I’m thankful for. Also it created a lot of anticipation in the readers, waiting for the moment the miscommunication would clear.Another very important an interesting aspect was handled in this book as well. Something that involved the heroine take a big and brave step. Just like the miscommunication trope, this part of the book created a lot of tension and makes the reader eager to see the resolution. However in both cases the chance to actually see the resolution properly felt robbed. We see the step being taken, but not the reactions as such? In the sense, after the step is taken, the next chapter starts sometime later, thus we only hear about what happened rather than see it. After having waited so long, I guess I felt a little disappointed.However, The Love Hypothesis is a warm warm read. I highly recommend. Expect some tears, lots of laughter, feels and love.Four and a half stars!
