Love Theoretically
Love Theoretically: From the bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis | Ali Hazelwood
PRE-ORDER THE NEW ALI HAZELWOOD NOVEL NOW! From the author of tiktok sensations and global bestsellers The Love Hypothesis and Love on the Brain Rival physicists collide in a vortex of academic feuds and fake dating shenanigans in this delightfully STEMinist romcom. The many lives of theoretical physicist Elsie Hannaway have finally caught up with her. By day, she's an adjunct professor, toiling away at grading labs and teaching thermodynamics in the hopes of landing tenure. By other day, Elsie makes up for her non-existent paycheck by offering her services as a fake girlfriend, tapping into her expertly honed people-pleasing skills to embody whichever version of herself the client needs. Honestly, it's a pretty sweet gig - until her carefully constructed Elsie-verse comes crashing down. Because Jack Smith, the annoyingly attractive and arrogant older brother of her favourite client, turns out to be the cold-hearted experimental physicist who ruined her mentor's career and undermined the reputation of theorists everywhere. And he's the same Jack Smith who rules over the physics department at MIT, standing right between Elsie and her dream job. Elsie is prepared for an all-out war of scholarly sabotage but... those long, penetrating looks? Not having to be anything other than her true self when she's with him? Will falling into an experimentalist's orbit finally tempt her to put her most guarded theories on love into practice? Praise for Ali Hazelwood and her novels: 'Ali Hazelwood proves that science is sexy as hell, and that love can 'STEM' from the most unlikely places. She's my newest must-buy author.' Jodi Picoult 'I cannot get enough of her brand of brainy romance! Writing with an emotionally brilliant and witty pen, Hazelwood is an absolute romance powerhouse.' Christina Lauren, author of The Unhoneymooners 'Gloriously nerdy and sexy, with on-point commentary about women in STEM.' Helen Hoang, author of The Heart Principle 'Proves that STEM can be sexy!' Red Readers love 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' 'Ali Hazelwood has made herself an auto-buy author' 'It was just... perfect.' 'A heroine you will instantly fall in love with' The Love Hypothesis was on the Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller lists in January 2022, Love on the Brain was also on the Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller list in August 2022.

March 25, 2024 Went to Target and bit the bullet by getting the third book by Ali Hazelwood: Love, Theoretically. In addition to that book, I also got The House in the Pines by Ana Reyes AND So Not Meant to Be by Megan Quinn. Can't wait to read all three!!!

This was such a great romance, I devoured it in two days. Enemies to lovers, he fell first, 'who did this to you?' tropes so well done. I related so hard to Elsie, a major people pleaser with anxiety who feels like a burden to others, and Jack reminded me of my partner, showing her that it's okay to be taken care of. Hazelwood once again highlights the difficulty of being a woman in STEM and gives us a complicated & wonderful couple to root for

A romance in which a scientist hires herself out as a fake girlfriend until she runs into her favorite client‘s brother in a professional setting and her side gig is in jeopardy. To be honest the context feels flimsy…professional fake girlfriend with no sex does not feel like a real thing. Still fun though!

I finished this book in one day 😍!! I think I would rate this 4.5 stars. I think the main character was very relatable (and a bit broken) but the LOVE INTEREST, HE SHOWS UP and ADMITS HE WAS WRONG like you can have my heart sir, also loved the science and academic in this book!! Some parts of this book were forgettable but overall AMAZING 🤩

An amazing, cute romance, that made me realize I know nothing about science. I will never be over Jack, he is my favourite protective, way too obsessed boyfriend. Him and Elsie were WAY too cute together and I loved the development of their relationship. Enemies to lovers but he never actually hated her, my favourite trope. It also has he fell first AND he fell harder, my other favourite trope. This book was the perfect secret Santa gift.

I really enjoyed Jack + Elsie! The chemistry, the storyline, the no-nonsense. But then she kept bringing up the article this 30+ year old man wrote when he was 17?? And she kept doubting his feelings?? And everyone treated “hating theorists” like it was bigotry, not an academic opinion he clearly didn‘t feel (and said he didn‘t multiple times). A little frustrating. But I loved watching her gain confidence; these academia politics are VERY REAL!!

Every time I pick up one of her books I know I won‘t put it down until I‘ve read the whole thing. Her first person is so good you laugh and cry with the characters, the best way to tell via first person. This book is a great read I highly recommend. I can‘t wait to read more of her books.

Cute romance with a predictable HEA. I loved the characters, especially the character of Elsie as the pleaser worked so well. Liked that Jack was able to see through her shell. I even thought the supporting characters were awesome. 4⭐️

Moral of the story: find someone who loves and respects your rage.
Ali Hazelwood strikes again! She packed in so much and I still found myself laughing out loud. This is not just a romcom, Elsie is a stand-in for all the performances those of us who don‘t fall into a majority demographic have to put on, and the consequences if we don‘t fit someone else‘s standards.
Read for a good time and a smart, lighthearted walk through some serious topics.

Ali Hazwood's books are like a really rich chocolate cake-- you know what you're going to get and it's delicious when you're in the right mood for it. Yes the enemies to lovers, oblivious heroine who doesn't realize the gruff, giant of a man is in love with her is all the same, but dang if I don't still enjoy it every time. And the theoretical vs experimental physicist drama was quite interesting.

Emilymdxn I‘m the exact same! People criticise the books for being samey but like, they‘re the same as something amazing… 6mo
rachelsbrittain @Emilymdxn haha agreed! If you don't want to read something really similar to a previous book that's fine, and sure I wouldn't want to read that all the time, but everybody loves some chocolate cake now and again 😂 6mo

1. The tagged book. I love all the books in this series!
2. I liked the female MC, Elsie. She‘s a physicist, so she‘s obviously intelligent, but she‘s also flawed, and just trying to find her way in her field and in her personal life. And there are some funny scenes!

If you want to play, consider yourself tagged! 🤗

I love Ali Hazelwood‘s books! I love how they deal with the modern woman‘s issues, in a STEM environment, with humor, romance, and care.

This one focused on an enemies-to-lovers trope, and though some conflict centered on misunderstandings (my least favorite conflict device), the “he has actually liked me this whole time?!?” thing was written well.

4.5 ★

I‘m convinced that Ali Hazelwood can do no wrong when it comes to writing.

Her books and characters are relatable, charming, sexy, funny, witty all while integrating serious notes of emotion and what it‘s like to be a woman in male dominated fields. Love, Theoretically is all those things plus an enemies to lovers, empowering, embrace who you truly are plotline. Highly recommend! #LitsyLoveReads

Another hit from Hazelwood. I read all by this author because I love her humor and snappy dialogue. Also, how did I read 384 pages in one day?

review

Ali is one of my favorite authors, so I was so excited to read. I loved it, but not my favorite of her books. Instead of taking the enemies and misunderstanding approach of her last 2 books, this male protagonist was pretty clear with his feelings from the start. It was super cute how he helped her find herself while also falling in love with him. I couldn‘t put it down. Also way more spicy scenes than her other books if you‘re into that stuff.

Behind on posting but not reading. Me at Ali Hazelwood for bewitching me into reading another one of her books 😝 This was a soft pick for me. Millicent (Jack‘s grandmother) was 💯 the best character in this book. I loved her spunk, audacity, and love for Murder She Wrote. At this point I have come to accept that Hazelwood‘s writing is formulaic, but I enjoy her brand of humor and her commitment to ace/aro rep. The Olive/Adam cameo was nice too.

Ali Hazelwood did it again. Predictable? Sure. Did I guess the twist? Yes. Did I care? No. Let me assure you, as a college professor, that she nailed academia on the head with this one. 4/5⭐

But. One nit-pick. The protagonist adjuncts at a few Boston universities. And she CONSISTENTLY said "Boston University" to Bostonians. She would NEVER refer to it by its full name. As the mom of a rising senior, I can promise you that it is always "BU". ♥️?
