Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood is an absolute delight from start to finish! As someone who adores STEMinist romcoms, this book checked all the boxes. Elsie Hannaway is such a relatable and lovable character, juggling the many facets of her life with humor and grace. The academic setting adds a unique twist, making the stakes feel incredibly high as Elsie battles not just for her career, but for her heart as well.
The chemistry between Elsie and Jack is electric, and their banter had me laughing out loud more times than I can count. The way their relationship evolves—from adversaries to something so much more—is beautifully written, with plenty of swoon-worthy moments along the way.
What I love most about Hazelwood’s writing is how she seamlessly blends humor, romance, and intelligent discourse, all while giving us a heroine who’s both brilliant and vulnerable. The fake dating trope is executed perfectly here, with enough twists to keep you guessing and enough heart to keep you invested in every page.
If you loved The Love Hypothesis and Love on the Brain, you will not be disappointed with Love, Theoretically. It’s witty, it’s romantic, and it’s an absolute must-read for anyone who enjoys a good academic rivalry with a side of fake dating shenanigans!
