⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Love, Theoretically might be my favorite adult novel by Ali Hazelwood. Ali has said it is her most academic book but I feel the opposite. It was the least. It revolves around people in academia but little of the book takes place in the academic services.  

Elsie has graduated with her PhD but is having a hard time finding a job. She is currently teaching and being a fake girlfriend.  Throughout the book we see her stuggles with the interview process for academic jobs as well as having a mentor that is not known as the most helpful. 

Jack works at MIT and is in the hiring board for Elsie’s dream job. He has also published a paper making fun of experimental physicist. One in particular was his target and that person is close to Elsie.  

The relationship  between Jack and Elsie was my favorite.  It was also the spiciest for the three by far!! There was Asexual representation in the book as well. We also get an adorable Olive and Adam appearance!
