The Love Hypothesis - Ali Hazelwood
Embedded Files
A BuzzFeed Best Summer Read of 2021
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 is dating and well on her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting biologist, 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 Stanford's reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive's career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support and even more unyielding...six-pack abs.
Suddenly their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.

This book is an absolute delight! While many romantic comedies excel in romance, The Love Hypothesis brilliantly combines humor and heart. Olive's witty and snarky dialogues kept me laughing from start to finish. I couldn’t help but giggle and even snort in public, earning some curious glances from bystanders!
I especially appreciated Ali Hazelwood’s choice to feature a woman in STEM as the protagonist, shedding light on the unique challenges women face in this field. It was incredibly heartwarming to see a character like Olive take center stage in a romantic narrative. Her struggles, from navigating a male-dominated environment to grappling with self-doubt, resonated deeply with me.
The slow-burn romance between Olive and Adam is filled with tension and chemistry. Although the fake dating setup might seem a bit far-fetched, it paves the way for a sweet and satisfying love story. Adam starts off reserved but gradually opens up, drawn to Olive's infectious positivity and playful banter. His support in her academic journey adds a touching layer to their relationship, making me root for them even more.
For readers concerned about explicit content, The Love Hypothesis strikes a great balance. The intimate scenes are contained within two chapters, making it easy to skip if that's not your preference, allowing you to enjoy the rest of the narrative without missing essential plot points.
Overall, this novel checks all my boxes: it's sweet, smart, and laugh-out-loud funny. It captivated both my heart and mind. Without a doubt, I’ll be eagerly devouring anything Ali Hazelwood writes in the future!
