Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood
4.0

Thanks to PRH Audio for the copy of this ALC.

Okay I really enjoyed this one. Yes, he’s big and huge and mistaken for a refrigerator… but she’s tall this time! Progress!

Anyway, I absolutely loved the banter, nerdy jokes, absurd emails from students, and discussion around women in academia and adjunct professorship. I love that Elsie was working as a fake girlfriend to make money on the side, because that made for a lot of really funny moments. And don’t get me started on Millicent - I love a feisty grandma. This was a great balance of academic politics, physics jokes, and romance. Elsie and Jack were wonderful together and you can’t beat a grumpy, nerdy man who is totally gone for a woman.

Ali book rankings:
1. Love Hypothesis
2. Love, Theoretically
3. Love on the Brain
4. Novellas (I read one and then gave up)
