Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood
4.25

Lightning strikes thrice! Another wonderful and perfect romance novel written by the amazing and talented Ali Hazelwood. Maybe I'm biased because I LOVE the STEM girlie representation, but I honestly think she's the best contemporary romance author!

I love the way that Ali Hazelwood writes about STEM academia, how she criticizes the parts that suck and calls for it to be better. I love the protagonist, Elsie, even though she's a little crazy. Jack was such a great love interest because he balanced out Elsie's crazy so well! Their romance is so cute, I spent the whole book kicking my feel and giggling!

I LOVED how Ali Hazelwood gave each chapter a Taylor Swift song along with a little explanation for why that song matched with that chapter. It was so much fun to flip to the back right before reading each chapter to get a little soundtrack going in my head.

I still prefer Love on the Brain, but I don't think any romance book will ever top Love on the Brain! Bee was just the most relatable female lead I've ever had the pleasure of reading!
