Book Review: The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

Title: The Love Hypothesis Author: Ali Hazelwood Genre: Contemporary Romance Rating: 4.5/5

Olive is a Ph.D candidate minding her own project about pancreatic cancer early detection when she somehow manages to put herself in a fake relationship with the most antagonistic and unapproachable (Olive’s words) Dr. Adam Carlsen. Unfortunately, her lie smacks her right on her face and doesn’t have a choice but to push through. Out of luck, Dr. Carlsen agreed. But the longer she spends her time with Adam, the more she realizes that he’s probably the person she was looking for.

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell

I will take this book personally. I definitely will. Because how could I not? This book hit parts of my life. Both of the characters are part of biology department. I WAS A BIOLOGY MAJOR!! They both love science. I LOVE SCIENCE! They’re scientist…. Okay, I’m not but I can if life permits to. I have a biology degree, at least. I love that Ali Hazelwood choose a women in STEM and their difficulties on their field because women always had to go to rough road.

Also, all my favorite tropes put together in one story? I’m sold. Grumpy x sunshine trope? Yes. Fake-dating trope? Yes. Slow burn romance? Yes. Scientists in love? Definitely YES!! As someone who loved science, there are not enough stories about people in science on a romantic scene but here it is. I have waited long enough but finallyyyy.

“Contacts are not cheap.” “Neither are eyes.”

“I asked if I could kiss you, and you said yes.” “Incorrect. You asked if you could kiss me and I snorted.”

The romance between Olive and Adam developed slow but not as low as my beloved The Wall of Winnipeg and Me but still with plenty of tension. I love their banter so much. It makes me giggled and laughed. I’m grinning the whole time I’m reading this. My favorite funny part is when there we two beds in the hotel rooms. Because who does write romcom without the epic there-is-only-one-bed-in-the-room-we-have-to-sleep-together trope? Probably Ms. Ali Hazelwood.

Now she felt calm and safe. Like her world, constantly hectic and messy and demanding, was slowing down. Easing up, just a bit

As someone who works in a fast paced exhausting healthcare industry, I relate to her on a personal level because we just wanted someone to share the stillness of life with despite of its demands. And that’s Adam for Olive.

“That’s the thing with science. We’re drilled to believe that false positives are bad, but false negatives are just as terrifying.” She swallowed. “Not being able to see something, even if it’s in front of your eyes. Purposefully making yourself blind, just because you’re afraid of seeing too much.”

I told you, I will take this books personally haha. This book is beautifully written with brilliant characters and simple but great plot (execution-wise). In the word of Adam Driver.. “Good soup.”

Hi could you tell me about my love life 😅 or who in kpop comes off similar to me?I have a venus leo and Mars leo... I dont know much about those but I feel like leo is aggressive in both of those placements ?? I also learned that I most closely identify as a demisexual so idk if that makes any sense at all with those signs.. I'm quite confused at the moment haha plz send help... any thoughts? If theres any signs u need or would like to know I can tell u, haha love ur page! ~libruh

you have to be VERY careful every time you search for those things, and in this ask i already explained why. discovering your sexuality can be hard and it might take you a long time to realize what you really like... so don’t rush yourself, sweetie 💖

having both your venus and your mars in leo makes you a very passionate lover. you want to be with a person who makes you feel special, someone who values you. you seek for loyalty. you like showing off your s/o and tell everyone how wonderful your partner is. you like being praised and admired... but you’re also very jealous and possessive. when you get angry you’re hella dramatic lol

[etherealzodiac]

you’re the only man i can ever be genuinely considerate with at all times and not test because i never never wanna hurt ya 

[kristuhleee]

you gently pushed the hair out of my face while i was speaking, so i paused mid-sentence and i couldn’t help but smile. your eyes and your mouth were smiling back at me. were you smiling to return the gesture or did you feel what i felt at that moment? did you know what you just did to me, internally?

I felt calm and at peace in that moment and I can’t remember the last time I genuinely smiled by a small, simple gesture. I don’t know what it is, but you gave me something that night.

i can’t help but think if this was a moment of innocence or a move you use on other girls.

either way, it worked and you had me.

Sounds about right.
