le début j’ai vrmt accroché puis vers le milieu j’étais un peu perdu surtout à cause du point de vue extérieur (que je n’ai pas apprécier par moments) aussi mais vers la fin j’ai recommencer à aimer le livre, le seul point faible c’est que pendant tout le livre j’attendais le premier vrai moment entre les deux personnages et une fois arrivé j’étais tellement déçue .. j’ai pas trouvé ça bien structuré ,malgré ce petit truc ça reste une bonne rom-com, rien a dire sur les personnages principales >>

What do you expect from hyped books?
I try to not read these hyped books with any expectations because expectations will lead to a biased review.
The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood is a romantic fiction set in academia. The story begins with Olive, a bright student, looking for a PHD program to be able to prove her dissertation. In a few years at Stanford, she made some good friends- Anh and Malcolm. Anh had feelings for Jeremy, Olive’s ex-boyfriend, but she wasn’t pursuing him because of the girl code. Olive wanted her to believe that she had moved on and ended up kissing a stranger in her laboratory.
Adam Carlson is a famous professor in the same university known for his unapproachable and antagonistic nature. Olive kissed him that night. He plans on filling the title IX complaint to avoid any troubles. But what was he doing there in her lab? Will he understand Olive’s reasons? Will they become a university rumour?
The story is well framed with good use of humour. The writing style is mature enough to help the readers witness her imagination, and the characterisation is conscientious. The story is fast-paced but nearing the climax, it slowed down a bit as the two chapters seemed a bit dragged. Notwithstanding the point the author wanted to make, these chapters could have been compressed for a better reading experience. Also, I came across a statement that tells the author was overwhelmed with what she had written. It is near the climax. Nonetheless, she unwinds every question arising in the minds of the readers.
Overall, this is a good, humorous story with an appropriate title and is recommended to all those looking for light romantic fiction.

The fact that she was freaking out because she kissed a professor all while he was probably secretly doing a happy dance cause his crush of 3 years finally kissed him.

Fin lille historie. Den vækkede ikke de store følelser i mig og plottet regnede jeg ud tidligt. Der var flere afsnit i bogen, der føltes som om de var “kastet ind” for at fylde - og egentlig ikke havde den store betydning for resten af bogen. Men det var en sød historie om kærlighed - og dét var, hvad bogen lovede.
