The Love Hypothesis is the kind of book that I think is better for newbie romance readers. For me, with thousands of romance books under my belt, it became painful to read by the end. I started out reading The Love Hypothesis feeling giddy and elated. I *adored* the geeky, surly professor and poor grad student dynamic, and the narration by Callie Dalton was bangin'. I was 100000% sure that I was going to love this book, and I started recommending it to everyone. But slowly, slowly, things start...

**Spoiler Alert**The best part about this story is the focus on women in STEM everything else is a blurry, one-dimensional mess that left me with way too many questions.1. What if Olive hadn't fake kissed Adam? Would he have continued to wait even more years before engaging with her?2. Olive kissing a random guy instead of properly communicating with her supposed 'best friend' is outlandish. Their motivation for keeping up the lies (and yes, they were both lying) was unconvincing. 3. How did Oli...

I want to say this is a case of “It’s not the book, it’s me.” But then again, isn’t that the case for every book we end up disliking that everyone else enjoyed?The Love Hypothesis follows Olive, a PhD student who wants to prove to her best friend that she has moved on and is dating. With no way to prove it, she kisses the first man she sees, which ends up being none other than Dr. Carlsen, known as one of the most unapproachable and critical professors. With his own reasoning, he agrees to becom...

once upon a time, i read this book, and despite the fact that i have a heart of darkness (sorry joseph conrad) and am full of hate and vitriol (makes me a fun gossip though) and eat romance novels for breakfast (as in am very picky about them - i'm actually not a big breakfast eater)...i enjoyed it.and then i read everything else that this author has ever written, and i hated all of it.and when to came time to revisit...well, welcome to judgment day.i hated this too.maybe most of all.(well, almo...

OMG! Look at that cover—it totally screams Reylo vibes (Kylo and Rey disguised in lab coats, kissing each other breathless)! Two nerdy, adorable characters pretending to be a couple: a rigid, grumpy, but undeniably charismatic 34-year-old professor and a sweet, quirky, gold-hearted PhD student on a mission to cure pancreatic cancer? I’m sold!The banter is nerdy, sexy, and wildly entertaining—but I have to scream into the void every time hot professor Adam calls Olive smart ass! Couldn’t he have ...
