The Love Hypothesis

The review

I will admit, before I read the love hypothesis, I had very, very low expectations. This book was discussed a lot on booktok, and if you’re familiar with booktok then you already know that most of the recommendations on there are either hit or miss, with the majority of them (in my opinion) being the ladder. However, I can gladly say the love hypothesis was a HIT! This book included a handful of my favorite tropes such as fake relationship, forced proximity, pining, light angst and my ultimate favorite: sunny x grumpy. Olive and Adam’s relationship had me floored from the beginning because of how organic and genuine it all felt despite the true nature of their relationship. I also liked their conversations and how even though they never considered themselves ‘friends’, they always had the most personal and intimate conversations with each other. Another thing I enjoyed about this book is how passionate they are about their profession, especially Olive. She was a very strong female lead, and her character alone made me love the book tremendously more.

Who should read this book?

If you’re someone that likes seeing a relationship steadily build overtime and actually feel their connection at the tips of your fingers, this is it. Also, if you’re like me and share the unpopular opinion that 3rd person books ARE THE BEST, then this book is absolutely perfect for you.

Who shouldn’t read this book?

Even though I believe this book is wonderful in every possible way, if you’re someone that needs equal parts romance and spice, then this one sadly isn’t for you.
