This has been my favorite Ali Hazelwood book so far. They story was good, and the book felt more balanced. The pacing still felt a bit off, but overall pretty good.

Musically, I should hire a tuba to follow me around.
Elsie is so effortlessly hilarious, I love her. Also loved the Olive and Adam's cameo. Don't tell them that possibly I love this book more than I did theirs oops-

Ms hazelwood… this is your magnum opus!
As a long time fan of her work, I had to buy this when I saw the cover alone. First of all how dare you make me fall for a blond man and how was he this utterly dreamy.
Elsie was so easy to love, mostly abuse I see a lot of myself in her. Specially the parts of not wanting to be seen/family mediator. I just couldn’t help but love her, we agree a lot about our opinions on 2001 a space Odyssey and the twilight franchise.
I also love how much science was imbedded in this story.no joke as someone that graced b’s in science and I now looking up liquid crystals. I really this hazelwood was able to be her nerdy-self and really shine.
Utterly dreamy and such a fun book!

Where to start? Everything about this was perfect! Ali Hazelwood once again proved that she is the powerhouse of romance novel and stories. Being introduced to Elsie Hannaway and Jonathan 'Jack' Smith-Turner made myself feel giddy about them. Slowly but sure.
I love the development of their slowburn romance. And I adore Elsie so much. She is brave for stand for herself and turned to be a better person she should be. I love this book so much!
For me... Love, Theoretically is the best book I've ever read from Ali. Thank you for making STEM themed book so fun to read, Ali! Applaud!
Can't wait to read more books from you. Check & Mate next!

As usual, Ms. Hazelwood lays it on a little thick, but her books are fast paced and enjoyable to read, like slightly-too-buttery move theatre popcorn. As a woman with type 1 diabetes, I did have a huge problem with that representation and I wish the author had done more research because it was pretty clear the research she did do was partial and on a whim. It seemed more like a plot device to make us feel sympathetic for Elsie, despite her being a grown woman and diabetic for ~15 years. I also did not like how Elsie pressured Jack during the intimate scenes. Overall very similar to her first two, not terrible, but if you’ve read The Love Hypothesis and Love on the Brain you’ve pretty much read this, too.
