THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS: The Tiktok sensation and romcom of the year! [Paperback] Hazelwood, Ali

I think The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood highlights everything that a lot of us have come to love in romance.The most attractive aspect of romance for me is the quiet moments that you can have with someone. Not just when you can be quiet with them and they with you, but the soft words you can exchange with them. Your darkest moments and deepest fears, spoken softly only for their ears.A friendship that runs deep and a familiarity that’s both surprising and not. The Love Hypothesis brings all this to the reader and more. It delivers interpersonal relationships, friendships, day to day struggles and the strength to overcome them.I’m usually not so fond of the fake-dating trope, simply because you can generally guess the direction everything heads in and know the typical stops the author will pull. However, I think my favourite part of the book is fake-dating tropes being mentioned in the book itself as a trope and all of them rolling their eyes about the rom-com happening in the life of the heroine (including the heroine). Ali Hazelwood calling out her own trope was a certainly fresh take on it and altered how it felt a reading about it. That being said, the relationship between the H and h mostly felt like a deep friendship with long held affection for one another. They slipped into that space rather naturally and it was like a warm cup of something held between my palms on a cold day.The side characters were all what gave the book so much authenticity. Sure, they added to the humour and angst between the characters, but they also provided a sense of home and love for one another. They were the protagonists’ found family but that was not their only role. They had struggles of their own and personalities outside of being a supporting character. So much so that a spin off series on them wouldn’t be out of place at all.The miscommunication trope is not my favourite and I didn’t enjoy it too much in this book either but it didn’t get dragged out and drive us mental for the most part which I’m thankful for. Also it created a lot of anticipation in the readers, waiting for the moment the miscommunication would clear.Another very important an interesting aspect was handled in this book as well. Something that involved the heroine take a big and brave step. Just like the miscommunication trope, this part of the book created a lot of tension and makes the reader eager to see the resolution. However in both cases the chance to actually see the resolution properly felt robbed. We see the step being taken, but not the reactions as such? In the sense, after the step is taken, the next chapter starts sometime later, thus we only hear about what happened rather than see it. After having waited so long, I guess I felt a little disappointed.However, The Love Hypothesis is a warm warm read. I highly recommend. Expect some tears, lots of laughter, feels and love.Four and a half stars!

It was a different story and written well

The love hypothesis is like a fresh breath of air... It has everything. The characters, their chemistry, is magnificent. The book is no rocket-science, and that's exactly what the beauty of it is. Feelgood, Joyful and Uplifting!

Amazing. Funny. Love the story... Fake dating romance. Very well written. Romantic comedy book. Loved reading this book. Had a smile on my face the whole time.. Couldn't put it down.

Very sexy story

It was cute in the beginning, but got sort of cringe amd repetitive towards the end. Adam's proportions are exaggerated to say the least. I liked the inclusion of Tom trying to exploit Olive because that's realistic, and the panic and pining was good. Overall if you're a fluff overloaded person, go for it. The copy arrived just fine.

This product is just lovely, beautiful what not ,the paper quality, the shiny book cover , it's all worth the money.

I loved this book. The characters, the plot, the pacing and everything.
