I understand now why there had been so much hype around The Love Hypothesis. Well written, intentional and creative I would read more from Hazelwood in a heartbeat. Her characters are not complex and the story is easy to digest but these are not bad things. It feels good to read a romantic story about two adults that act like children in love; it’s wonderful! It feels real! Adam and Olive, and the pining for one another is everything important in the book. Even the subtle introduction a social issue and how it was not only applied but confronted was well done. Enjoyable read.

It’s a really nerdy(in the good kind of way) and totally loveable. If you want a sweet but kind enemies to Lovers Vibe but not quite enemies either, but something in between? This is the book. It has the sunny and broody romance.

This was kinda slow to get through at times, but I did end up enjoying it. Adam and Olive’s banter and dynamic were my favorite things, and they shared so many vulnerable moments that I loved. Overall, really cute. I have read one of the author’s novellas and really enjoyed it, so I’ll give the rest of her work a go too! 

Spoiler SO GLAD someone got their comeuppance in this. I hated that incident in the book so much and it made me incredibly uncomfortable, though I know that was the author’s intent and I’m sure frequently happens. UGH. When olive found the recording I shouted HELL YEAH GIRL GET HIM
Spoiler 

There was also too much of the “omg he’s so big and she’s so small” trope. Like ok we get it, move on…
