Pretty unrealistic scenario for a PhD student, if you ask me. Crush x reader sitting on his lap game. It is a huge pet peeve of mine when authors rely on miscommunications for the whole tension and plot of a book, and by 50% of the way in, it became abundantly clear that this is what we were facing. There weren't enough moments between them that made me root for them as a real couple and hope for the best. The whole book, we don't really know what Olive looks like or what she likes, and all we know about Adam is that he is a young, hot-shot professor who hardly ever smiled and went through tough situations as a PhD student himself.
Olive is relatable and dorky and cute and we love a woman in STEM, and Adam is my dream man in quite literally every single way.

Pues, por muy cursi que suene, eso fue The Love Hypothesis para mí. "No matter how many pounds of spoiled shrimp cocktail you projectile vomit, you can trust me. One part of the problem is Adam himself. Could she be brave enough to come clean with him? Not one dry page here. But here is a list of all the tropes, you can expect when reading The Love Hypothesis: 💫 age gap (Olive, 26 & Adam, 34). With his own reasoning, he agrees to become Olive's fake boyfriend. Crush x reader sitting on his lap girl. When Olive and Adam went on their first fake coffee date and Adam offered to pay for her coffee, cuz he knows she's a poor student and what does that girl do?

I thought that something good was gonna happen, and I was left with empty hands because I received nothing from that chapter. It was difficult to understand his personality and the type of person he was other than moody and sullen because it's something we are constantly and repeatedly told, especially from Olive. I am not saying that adam belongs in the second category.
¿Qué puedo decirles? D candidate who doesn't have the time or energy to date. No les puedo decir mucho más, pero sepan que The Love Hypothesis es uno de esos libros que, aunque te pueden frustrar por momentos y que pueden tener escenas tristes, siempre van a quedar como un highlight de felicidad en tu memoria.

I hardly found myself smiling and laughing (like an idiot), which I usually do with books like these, but this one only felt dull. It goes down as one of my top reads this year. Unfortunately, she has spun her lies, so she has no choice but to see them through. Ain't no one doing it out here like queen Ali Hazelwood!!

There's nothing she cannot sacrifice for them. "I don't want to hang out with you. Tom was an asshole and I wish Adam would have punch him in the face:). Blog | Instagram | Youtube | Ko-fi | Spotify | Twitch. At first the kisses were a bit foreign since this was your first official kiss, first kiss really ever, but then sparks flew once you got the rhythm. Maybe Ali Hazelwood tried a little bit too much to bring all of these tropes in one story and maybe it was a bit too much. That scene could have been so powerful yet it was poorly handled by Hazelwood. There was her confession and then it was cut right to the epilogue that wasn't all that satisfying either.. 。・゚゚・ Conclusion ・゚゚・。.

Actually he agrees to pretend acting like lovers for his own reasons to get enough fund to finance his own researches.
Sin embargo, les juro que no había disfrutado tantísimo un libro en mucho tiempo. This book is *excruciating* at times. I loved the academic romcom premise!

"The burning usually lasts only a few minues. It's smart, funny, and oh so swoon worthy! Y/br climbs upstairs and you hear the door shut. Adam always encourages and praises Olive for her brilliant work. Would he have continued to wait even more years before engaging with her? I wish he may have called her something smarter, catchy, more affectionate maybe? This all ties back to the writing and how difficult it was to enjoy the book more because of how little description was given to the characters. She fucking DELIVERED 👏🏽 she deserves to get her kitty cat meow meow eaten out from the front to the back, up & down, side to side, in & around!! That pretty much sums up my thoughts on this book🥺🥰.
