Honesty. 🧡
This book is a love letter to women raised to be people pleasers and it reminds us we can remake ourselves outside the boundaries others set for us.
I thought this book was both so fun, with Hazelwood’s classic animated characters and story, but also so aware. The reflection of the characters and the growth Elsie, in particular, went through felt refreshing.
I loved Jack and Elsie together as a couple, their banter was on point and I loved his ability to call her on her bull and help her discover herself. They were steamy, and sweet, and honest and I loved their journey together so much!
Not only were the main characters some of my favourites, but the side characters in this book are so well done, I found myself wanting more of their stories, and I loved how we explored ace rep through one of them!
Overall, this book highlights issues in STEM, as many of Ali Hazelwood’s books do, but also issues with privatized healthcare and affordability of treatments for people with chronic illnesses, as well as acceptance from society and people pleasing.
I loved everything this book tackles and explores, and Love Theoretically might be Ali Hazelwood’s best book yet.
