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.
My Review of The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
This book is a Romcom, the kind I enjoy reading and watching.
Having an academia setting, this book centers on the lives of P. HD students, particularly STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) so it has lots of science jargons.
When Olive's best friend Anh, falls in love her ex boyfriend Jeremy, Olive must make the greatest decision of her life.
As a friend who values her friendship dearly, she decides to create an imaginary relationship for herself, just to make her best friend feel less awkward and go ahead and date her ex.
But her little, white lie turns into something grand, something fiery, something unexpected.
She accidentally drags Dr. Adam Carlsen, the handsome, sexy, hot Professor of theirs into the equation.
The little, white lie will become more interesting, when Adam, the antagonistic and unfriendly Professor decides to play a part in that game.
Hazelwood has a way with words. You would definitely laugh more often than you'll feel any other emotion.
It's gripping, interesting, educative and gives everything a romantic comedy is supposed to give.
Apart from some scientific jargons here and there, it was a perfect read for me, and I deeply enjoyed it.
