I've read a fair number of Ali Hazelwoods contemporary nerd spicy romance books and this one may be the best of them.

If I have to read "iTwat" with my own two eyes ever again I will revolt. 

The pacing of this book was her weakest imo. I'm glad it didn't have an off the wall end like LotB but I just like. I dunno. I'm starting to lose faith that I'll get another TLH. This book had the BEST stem aspects. Loved it. But the full middle was just sex which is fine bit just HALTED any plot progression. At all. 
And they had so little chemistry to me. And please, friend, write a different couple dynamic. I just cannot. Please broaden your horizons I know you can do it. You did it at least once in the novellas and it was my favorite one.

I thought I would love this after seeing reviews, especially because it has diabetes AND aro/ace rep. But SIGH. I liked it enough, but it was nothing mind-blowing (for me).

I should write a long review and at some point I will but right now all I can say is I loved Love, Theoretically. I never thought Ali could write something as good as The Love Hypothesis. Well,  she did.  Brava!

“‘Remember how it was?’ I ask. ‘Learning them for the first time? The Schrödinger equation. The standard model.’
He nods. His throat bobs…’Knowing that the universe could can be made sense of.’
‘Made of patterns. Rules that can be discovered, predicted.’
‘Find them out, and you’ll know how to make the world into what you want.”

BROOO THIS WAS SO GOODDD - I absolutely loved Love Hypothesis and was excited to read this one cause I’d heard it was even better but I didn’t actually believe I’d love it more but I somehow did?? Literally just binge read this in the middle of the night starting at like 11:30 or midnight and just finished at 5am despite having work in 3 hours lmao - worth it :)
