The story between Adam and Olive is so cute! All the things they do and the reference that it’s turning into the stereotypical romance plot by the characters was so funny. I love their relationship

and the fact that they had met before when Olive was applying

. Even though there is an age gap it’s still quite cute. There was a quite graphic sex scene but it was kind of necessary to show the development of their relationship.

I like that there wasn’t really any point in the story when they hated each other but I kind of wished there was a bit more of it. Tom’s betrayal at the end was appalling the way he treated Olive and i’m a bit annoyed she didn’t realize she had taped it earlier

It was so cute and i loved it so much!

I did not expect to like this book as much as I did but honestly I had such a good time reading it. There were times where I literally wanted to jump up and down squealing when reading this book. I loved the setting and the characters and the banter it all just worked together so well.

There was a miscommunication that led to a third act break up and as overused and annoying as that trope is I didn't even mind it. The fact that I didn't even mind the presence of my least favorite tropes is really telling of how much I like this book.

I think the fact that this was originally a fanfiction is what made me enjoy it even more. I love fanfiction and when I was reading certain parts of the book I could definitely identify the fanfiction influence which was so fun. This was just such a lovely, well developed, feel good book and I'm definitely gonna read more books by the author.

It’s been a therapeutic time reading a lighthearted and straightforward romcom after having finished a romantasy series before it.

The Love Hypothesis is much like every other stereotypical fake-dating story but with a backdrop of a whole lot of STEM. It was pretty cool getting to see a glimpse of what life is like in academia and getting to read a fake-dating story of someone well over their mid-twenties (since it’s commonly set in high school). Perfect for a little breather.

There were some lines that felt too cringey for me and I feel could’ve been written differently to feel more natural. And as much as I liked Adam and Olive together and individually, I wish I could’ve seen more of Olive at work in the academia just so I have a grasp of how great she actually is in what she does. I feel like a lot of parts have been sped through and that her skills were downplayed. I think I would’ve appreciated and rooted for her more had I been given more.

Those, of course, are highly secondary as the story is mainly about the relationship between Adam and Olive which was definitely center-stage in the book.
