The Love Hypothesis
Ali Hazelwood
REVIEW:
4 Stars
I love that this book has women in STEM. I loved Olive's friends Anh and Malcolm. Olive has that little bit of social awkwardness that sometimes comes with people with a beautiful smart mind. This is a fake relationship trope between a professor and a PhD student, but not her professor. When I first started this book I was a little iffy, but then I was quickly drawn into the story. Now I'm a reader that usually likes dual points of view, but Ali Hazelwood did such a good job that it didn't dawn on me until I read the bonus chapter that the book was only from Olive's perspective. I got enough cues and descriptions from Olive that I could tell what was going on in Adam's head. Also his good friend and fellow professor Holden gave enough info to help that out as well. I had a little inkling in my gut where this was going to go and as I say I should always listen to my gut. I loved the side Olive brings out in Adam. He feels lighter and more okay just being and not preforming. The banter between Olive and Adam was one of my favorite parts of the book. That always had me chuckling. I will admit Holden was a favorite character of mine. I loved his personality so much. A great secondary character for sure. Overall I enjoyed this book and glad I gave it a chance when I found out it's becoming a movie.
BLURB:
As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships--but her best friend does, and that's what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive is dating and well on her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees.
That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor--and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford's reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive's career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support and even more unyielding...six-pack abs.
Suddenly their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.
