The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

The Love Hypothesis Summary

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood is the story of a graduate student, Olive Smith. She knows what she needs, and she is in her late twenties and is smart and strong and does not need a man to make her happy. It is with her best friend trying to assure her that she is actually in a relationship when she flings her arms around the campus’ infamous and morose professor, Adam Carlsen, and kisses him. To everybody’s surprise and very much against all reason, Adam also proceeds in his decision to continue pretending that he and Lup are boyfriend and girlfriend; Lup is then left astounded at the intense chemistry between them.

Science may be difficult for Olive and her friends at every turn, but handling the highs and lows of adolescent relationships are just as tough for this young Angie and her friends, especially her. She understands that, like in science, love is also rather a complex thing in the world. But more about friendship, more about ambition, and also more about the fight of women in the field of STEM, which was still told to me in a comedian manner. Finally, Olive learns that she is being enabled to have both her job and her boyfriend.
