Love, Theoretically

LoveReading Says

Look, I’m not going to lie, to me at least, Love, Theoretically is pretty identical to Ali Hazelwood’s other novels – but you know what? I’m not mad about it.

She has a niche and she absolutely smashes it. Enemies to lovers featuring a workaholic but sexy scientist heroine, and her secretive, uniquely obsessed, hugely-built genius coworker. No one else could. 

We’ve got a twist on fake dating with Elsie being a fake girlfriend to Jack’s brother, and we’ve got a great funny effortless voice, as usual. I also enjoyed learning about the spat between theoretical psychics versus applied physics (I think I’m getting that right)... 

In my humble opinion, I preferred her earlier novels (my favourite is Love on the Brain, which I also reviewed for this website if you want to have a nosey!) as this one, if I may, felt a little more rushed – but honestly Ali Hazelwood could write anything and it would be delicious and worthy of a TikTok sensation. I’d love to read an Ali Hazelwood novel where there’s a completely different vibe, but to be honest, even if she doesn’t, I’ll be there reading and enjoying her next one.
