I rarely read romances, but one of the prompts from my 2022 challenge was to read a romance, and I'm so glad I picked up The Love Hypothesis for this. I really really enjoyed it, and it was a really cute, fast-paced read. It's a fake-dating trope with a sweet/grouch pairing. I was sucked in, I liked the relationship, and I enjoyed the stem background. I did find Olive a bit annoying at times with her lack of self-confidence. Also I didn't feel like it was really necessary to mention just HOW good looking Adam was as often as it was mentioned. That wasn't the driving force for Olive so it felt out of place a bit. Anyway, this is a perfect weekend binge read that will leave you with "awwwww so cute" sparkly feelings at the end. 

For those who like to know: this book was 95% of the time not terribly spicy because it revels in the slow burn. BUT there are 2 chapters that get pretty explicit.

I listened to The Love Hypothesis on audio with Callie Dalton narrating, and I really enjoyed Dalton's narration.
