so-soIf The Love Hypothesis was the first Ali Hazelwood book you read and it put you off her for life, I honestly wouldn‘t blame you… but I would gently encourage you to check out some of her later work. Books like Not In Love bear very little resemblance to this amateurish mess. Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/the-love-hypothesis-ali-hazelwood-review/
pickThe casting announcement for the movie was so funny that it pushed this up to the top of my reading pile… and I had a great time. I should read more contemporary romances was my main takeaway.
pickLove this book!!! The characters were so cute and believable. Rated the book a 4 out of 5 stars.
pickI loved this. Adam is great. The self-aware fake dating is funny (albeit occasionally pushed me into embarrassment squick territory). The fact that Olive is demisexual (though the term is never used) is pretty cool.
It does illustrate why I will never do a PhD, though.
Did not pack my pockets very well this morning and have left home without my AirPods 😫
pick7-5-25: My 45th finished book of 2025! After a kiss just for show, Dr. Adam Carlson and PH.d student Olive, embark on a fake dating situation that will help them both with outside issues. But what about the issues inside themselves? Women in STEM is a big part of what this book covers. That and falling for someone you shouldn‘t. It was less steamy than the last Hazelwood and more deep thoughts. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣4️⃣5️⃣
Frankly, Olive was a bit on the fence about this whole grad school thing.
