Love and Science

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

This is the second book by this author that I have read, and I enjoyed this one immensely, just as I did the first one. One thing I can appreciate about this author is that she writes about women in STEM. I am not a sciencey girl myself, but I know that women are underrepresented in the field. And even though her books are STEM related, they are still relatable for those of us who aren't STEM oriented.

This book is about Olive, a grad student at Stanford. She kisses Adam, a professor/scientist in an attempt to show her best friend, Anh, that she has moved on from Jeremy, a guy she went out with a few times. Anh and Jeremy are smitten, but Anh won't date him because of girl code. Anyway, Olive and Adam decide to fake date for a while because it is mutually beneficial to them both. What Olive doesn't count on is discovering she has feelings for Adam. 

The premise, though overplayed in movies, is just fine here, and so cute. I don't want to say too much more because I will undoubtedly give it away. I will say this much: if you need a lighthearted, contemporary romance, this is for you.
