The Love Hypothesis, by Ali Hazelwood
4.0
Olive Smith is a scientist, she believes in proven facts and concrete evidence. She also believes that all relationships end and she has the proof to back it up. As a graduate student in Stanford's science department, Olive is content to live her life among her lab rats and her research. Enter Adam Carlsen: scientist, professor, and all around ass who makes his grad students cry. It doesn't help that he is hot AF and that Olive can't stop thinking about him after he agrees to fake date her. But, soon, Olive's fake boyfriend is starting to look an awful lot like a real one...and she's pretty okay with that.
Can we please talk about how AMAZING this book is?!?!? Let's start with the absolute best parts: fake dating trope, grump/sunshine, he's an asshole to everyone but her, women in STEM representation, asexuality representation, and, of course, ALLLLLLL the longing looks.
The Love Hypothesis gave me all the feels. The banter between all the characters is top notch. The chemistry (pun totally intended) between Olive and Adam leaves the pages smoldering. And the slow burn of this book...totally worth it!
