Luckily she meets the biggest of big men who is built like a tree, and seeps sexual tension that has all the girlies pulled ātight like a bow stringā š¤¦š»āāļø anddddd just the right influence to toss our female leads insecurities aside and thrust her into her dream career as a the most successful science nerd of highest importance.Ā
And they live happy ever after. The end.Ā
Sigh. If youāve read one of Aliās booksā¦youāve read them all.

Elsie and MMC, Jack, have a major height difference which is such a common trope Iām beyond tired of it. She needs to crane her neck to look up at him. She needs to stand on her tippy toes and pull his face towards her to kiss. His pen!s pokes her in the stomach. Sheās a small-average height woman and heās a giant. We get it.Ā
Sorry. This storyline and the characters just really werenāt for me. Ā

If you enjoyed The Love Hypothesis (or Love on the Brain, though personally I try to forget it exists!) then youāll like Love, Theoretically. If you canāt put up with cringe in exchange for a fun plot then look elsewhere for your romcom fix!Ā

As for the characters in this book, their chemistry was off the charts, Jack & Elsie make an adorable pair, & itās fun seeing a fake dating trope where the couple thatās faking it ISNT the ones who fall in love! Not something you see often.Ā
But also, this book really called me out with Elsie & her people pleasing! Ā Iām not as good as Elsie, I canāt read people & make myself into the version they want, but I do people please A LOT! & some of the quotes in this book really hit close to home! Ā Idk if thatās a good thing or not yet. Lol š¤·š»āāļøĀ
