Love, Theoretically
The many lives of theoretical physicist Elsie Hannaway have finally caught up with her. By day, she's an adjunct professor, toiling away at grading labs and teaching thermodynamics in the hopes of landing tenure. By other day, Elsie makes up for her non-existent paycheck by offering her services as a fake girlfriend, tapping into her expertly honed people-pleasing skills to embody whichever version of herself the client needs.
The Love Hypothesis
As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships but her best friend does, and that's what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive is on her way to a happily ever after was always going to be tough, scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting woman, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees.
Love on the Brain
Like an avenging, purple-haired Jedi bringing balance to the mansplained universe, Bee Königswasser lives by a simple What would Marie Curie do? If NASA offered her the lead on a neuroengineering project -- a literal dream come true after years scraping by on the crumbs of academia -- Marie would accept without hesitation. Duh. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward.

Wanted to re-read the love hypothesis and have it count towards my Goodreads goal so here we are.
Just as dreamy as the first time I read it.

May 22, 2025These go on my re read pile. Incredibly addictive to find books where female characters can have absolute confidence in their scientific achievements but be emotionally vulnerable about other aspects of their life. Love Hypothesis makes it into my to 15 books.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3/5
Ali Hazelwood’s 3-book collection is a cute, light-hearted ride through the world of nerdy romance and STEM-flavored love stories. The Love Hypothesis still stands out as the most engaging of the trio, with witty banter, clever setups, and chemistry that actually sparks.
Love, Theoretically and Love on the Brain follow a similar formula—smart, science-adjacent protagonists, awkward but charming interactions—but they don’t hit the same highs as the first book. The stories are enjoyable and easy to read, but they occasionally feel predictable or formulaic.
Overall, this collection is perfect for a casual, fun binge if you’re in the mood for feel-good romance with brains, humor, and light tension—but don’t expect anything too groundbreaking. Solid, cute, and bingeable for a cozy reading session.
