The Love Hypothesis
Reviews
the line about being able to fit one of her whole breasts in his mouth was so insane i had to knock the rating down because when i read that i absolutely lost it.
I loved this. I was so obsessed with Adam and the twists and turns definitely kept me engaged. I'm so glad I finally decided to pick this one up!
Can only exist in imagination. Don’t like writing style, so confusing. But at least it was a fun read
SO good, I read it in one time !
I love this trope. Made me a cringe a little at a few spots, but can’t really expect anything different.
technically my second reading 🤫
listen this book is fun, but also im just kinda picky about whats a good rom to me, but its still a fun turn your brain off read.
that being said, this was reylo fic and you can kinda tell, because to me im just not invested in these characters/didnt really feel their chemistry. which makes sense cause in fanfic you dont have to develop that people just go already invested. the main girl character is also annoying and dumb. man is texting her “wish you were here” and shes like damn, too bad he doesnt like me :(. and its like girl lol. additionally we have to hear how evil the main guy is every other sentence and like the worst thing he does is tell someone their research isnt good and like, thats not evil? thats just being a good professor.
ALSO this book really did piss me off in the first 5 pages, canada does have thanksgiving. its just on a different day!!!!!!
0.5 bc i cant give it a zero. bad writing cliche tropes too much happening. ahn and malcolm and holden being there for diversity points took years off my life and so did the sorry excuse for sex scene which imo added nothing to the book. we need better conflicts in romance novels that dont revolve around someone harassing a woman and her LI in turn fighting them. its cringey! and not in a fun way! like half the book could have been cut away. why did characters act like teenagers YOURE GROWN. i wish this had stayed on ao3.
Well written but not spicy enough
Very very cute.
first (and probably last) booktok/contemporary romance I'd ever read. physically cringed at some parts. can't believe grown women out there are reading such garbage every day.
Desde hace meses había comprado el libro y hasta ahora me digné en leerlo, ¡me ha encantado! Ahora me arrepiento muchísimo de no haberlo leído antes. Desde el primer capitulo me enganché con el libro, cosa que no suele suceder a menudo en mi. Fue hermoso, carajo. ADAM CARLSEN TIENE UN LUGAR ESPECIAL EN MI CORAZÓN 🫶🏻
Se ha convertido en una de mis lecturas favoritas, olive es un amorcito y solo quiero abrazarla y hablar con ella durante toda la noche. Adam tiene un aire de misterio que me enamora y me hace no poder dejar de pensar en el No había leído una historia de romance con científicos pero me ha encantado como la autora llevo toda la dinámica Y sinceramente, quien no querría aplicarle protector solar a Adam Carlsen por su espalda ?
sometimes the girlies just want to have fun and sometimes i am that girly.
beside the unicorn stockings this was a cute lil romcom novel
It was... okay? I don't get the hype, and I think I never will (with any of the booktok books). Anyhow, here are the goods and the bads (entirely based on MY opinion): the goods: • the realistic depiction of post-grad academia • the mentions of scientific procedures, etc... • the problems dealt with in the book concerning academia and student life. the bads: • no attachment to characters (especially the two main leads). They were as stale as a month old loaf of bread. • the romance fell flat for me. This book is supposed to be a romance, is it not??? Then why didn't I feel the angst? The tension??? The ROMANCE!? *sighs* • the stupid catalyst. The book's plot is put into motion for a stupid reason, and you can't tell me otherwise.
Cute read!! Absolutely loved the back and forth between Olive and Adam it made their “fake relationship” so adorable and showed their amazing chemistry!! Definitely recommend!!
Not for me
Ok I read this but what was this TikTok forced me to and idk professor student thingy is js HUHHHH
4,5 I had the time of my life reading this. I'm not used to reading romance but I wanted to try it this year. I feel like I was trying in the wrong place before, which was YA. Don't get me wrong, I still felt second-hand embarrassment a few times in the beginning. But I guess that is me in general and it's part of the ride. I don't like student/professor romances, but it worked since they have nothing to do with each other, do not work together and, well, she's a grad student. Boring talk from my part aside, I had fun. It was juicy, filled with those tropes we know and love while being very self-aware.
la vdd es q me gusto pero a veces era desesperante la protagonista 😞 siento que necesitaba un poco más de romance? pero detalles
4,5 stars.
A solid 3.5 Stars from me. I find the monologue quite dull and boring so I skim through most of it, although I feel like I could relate to the heroine as I struggle with social anxiety myself, but somehow I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would. The PDAs were forced and didn’t felt as natural as It should, rubbing a professor nude back in a large gathering? Cringe. The book is ridiculous and it acknowledge it and I guess that made it way more enjoyable. It could definitely do better but overall a nice read. P.S I know this was a fan fiction before so I really can't NOT thought about Adam Driver while I was reading this and it kinda bothers me.. lol but ok never mind
Highlights
"I wish you could see yourself the way I see you."
i can’t
i just can't
the way he is i love it.
although i do find the writting to be off
like are the whole talk was done with her standing and him sitting on the bed. the environments aren't that well described and i hate that because i like to keep track of what every one is doing
There is no moment in life that cannot be omproved by food delivered by conveyer belt.
Hard agree
"Ol, go give him a kiss."
Olive whirled around, abruptly reminded of Anh's existence. "What?" No. No. "I'm good. I just said goodbye to him a minute ago and-"
"Ol, why don't you want to go kiss your boyfriend?"
Ugh. "I...It's not that I don't want to. I just-"
"Dude, he just moved a truck. By himself. On uphill ground. He deserves a damn kiss." Anh shoved Olive and made a shooing motion.
If my best friend tried to push me into kissing my boyfriend in public just cause he showed off his power, I think they wouldn't really be my best friend lol
"Olive. If you ever need anything, anything at all. Anything. Whenever. You can come to me."
His jaw worked, like there were other words, words he was keeping inside. “I want you to come to me."
NOT CRYING.NOT CRYING.
It wasn't until a few minutes later, when she was sitting itting on her bed staring at the Boston skyline and chewing on her lunch, that Olive realized that the protein bar Adam had given her was covered in chocolate.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
The bottom of the image proudly stated “Pumpkin Pie Frappuccino," and below that, Adam's text:
Adam: Think I can smuggle this on the plane?
She didn't need to be told that she was grinning at her phone like an idiot.
Olive: Well, TSA is notoriously incompetent.
Olive: Though maybe not that incompetent?
Adam: Too bad.
Adam: Wish you were here, then.
Olive's smile stayed in place for a long time.
🥰💞😫😭
She giggled.
He smiled in response, as if pleased to have made her laugh. Though it was certainly for some other reason.
excuse me, just here BAWLING MY EYES OUT
The silence between them stretched, and Olive noticed that he was blushing faintly.
Just a dusting of red, but he looked so… olive couldn’t stop staring.
“No sex.” He confirmed with a nod.
I LOVE THIS MAN
The ghost of a smile appeared on his mouth, but he said nothing.
😫😫😫
"Ground rules?"
“Yes. You know. What we are allowed and not allowed to do. What we can expect from this arrangement. I think that's pretty standard protocol, before embarking on a fake-dating relationship."
He tilted his head. “Standard protocol?"
“Yup."
“How many times have you done this?"
"Zero. But I am familiar with the trope."
“The... what?" He blinked at her, confused.
Olive ignored him. "Okay."
Here after “love, theoretically” where Elsie didnt think olive knew what fake dating even was😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
"Adam." She rubbed her forehead with her fingers.
"There will be only one bed."
He frowned. "No, as I said it's a double.”
"It's not. It won't be. There will be only one bed, for sure."
Then again, she'd also rather not be in this room with Adam Carlsen, have the semester begin in a handful of days, have climate change be a thing. And yet.
Carry yourself with the confidence of a mediocre white man
Test the results on your computer to see what you
San fr is my resume for your kind reference to
“And I am drawn to you, even though I don’t know why.”
“Maybe you just pull out the best in me?”
“Olive.” He pulled her closer, pressing his lips against her forehead. “It doesn’t matter. Whatever it is that you’re crying about, I will fix it. I will make it right. I—”
I’m starting to wonder if this is what being in love is. Being okay with ripping yourself to shreds, so the other person can stay whole.
