I took the time to read this during my final online lecture for my Integrating Technology course today in honour of STEM ladies everywhere. However...that was a mistake. While The Love Hypothesis is exactly what I was expecting (fast-paced, character-based, third-person point of view, and oddly charming dialogue -reminiscent of fanfiction that I adore), I found myself disliking several points as well. These include, but are not limited to:

The miscommunication trope is near and dear to my heart, as miscommunication keeps the world turning but lying? I dislike it deeply, especially since she has 'good intentions' while doing it. The whole ordeal made me roll my eyes. The story starts and ends with

sexual assault

, which isn't my cup of tea. As a woman in science, the actual science felt like it was written for non-science people. This is just a personal bias, however, but I did think Olive's character was flawed in that sense since her whole personality was 'she loved science'. Oh, and the smut made me laugh. 

I was expecting better, but at the same time, it was exactly what I was expecting?
I will try another Hazelwood novel in the future, but she won't be at the top of my tbr.
