The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
4.5
emotional funny lighthearted fast-paced

Super fast paced read, I finished it in 24 hours... I loved the lighthearted and slow-burning relationship dynamic between Adam and Olive. The PHD subplot was interesting, and I liked the academic setting. I loved the side characters' developments and the strong friendships each character had that intertwined with the fake dating story. 

I didn't love the damsel in distress trope, and I wish Olive was more confident in her intellectual abilities without needing a man to say it for her to believe in herself... 

Themes: grumpy sunshine dynamics, slight age gap, faking dating, he falls first, protective MMC
