The Love Hypothesis
The Instant New York Times Bestseller and TikTok Sensation! As seen on THE VIEW! A BuzzFeed Best Summer Read of 2021
When a fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction, it throws one woman's carefully calculated theories on love into chaos. 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.

A truly fun rom-com read. This book is the junk food of books. So though enjoyable, there is nothing profound in this book. It would make a great palate cleanser after a heavy book.
I highly enjoyed the drops of science interspersed throughout this book, loved the chemistry, and the story. Great easy reading and delightful rom-com.
If you enjoy romcoms and dry humor/sarcasm then this is the book for you! The ONLY reason it took me 5 days to read is because I wasn't feeling well and couldn't read as fast or much as I wanted.
Olive was very relatable to me and I felt we shared some of the same issues when it comes to trust and love. I wanted to yell at her a few times to be honest about her feelings and to accept them!
By the end I developed a little bit of a crush on Adam รขยยค Just something about his moodiness and wanting to protect Olive was wonderfully sweet in every way.

I'm just so obsessed with the cover of this book!!!
This book is one of my favorite five star reads. And it involves one of my favorite romance tropes grumpy รย sunshine and fake dating.
The characters Adam Carlsen is a hot 34 years old professor and Olive Smith is 26 years old PhD. student. Olive struggles with her self-image and tends to focus on all the ways she feels messy, rather than all the accomplishments she achieves. They both get into fake dating because of their respective reasons and in this phase Olive develops a crush on Adam. She then finds out Adam liked her since he first met her.
I appreciate how Ali hazelwood normalize the 8 years age gap between the characters. Overall i enjoyed the book and the dialogs are beautifully written.
My favorite dialog of the book is "I wish you could see yourself th way I see you" and 'you can fall in love: someone will catch you'
