Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood

What can I say, my last book may have gotten my hooked on Ali Hazelwood. This book is a whole mess of entanglements and I adore it. Elsie is an adjunct professor and a theoretical physicist. She is also a chronic people pleaser who tends to morph herself into whatever she thinks that whoever she’s talking to wants her to be. She’s desperately searching for a new job with health insurance due to her type 1 diabetes and also not wanting to live in a gross apartment. Jack is the brother of the guy she fake dates for money through an app called Faux and an experimental physicist. Jack is brutally honest and despises lies/being fake.  I love that there’s still fake dating but it’s not between the two main characters, that she ends up in a huge mess with her fake date’s brother. I love the grandmother Millicent most of all, I think. I’m guessing that I’ll be just like her when I’m old 😆 This book has lots of nerdy science in it. Lots of talk about physics and jokes about physics. Kind of like The Big Bang Theory but with way more romance. A great book to read before you watch the movie Oppenheimer. This is 100% an enemies to lovers trope and it’s a great one. It’s also funny, think of it as a romcom. The emails from Elsie’s students are hilarious and I love that they’re included throughout the book. There’s also a little crossover with Olive and Adam from The Love Hypothesis! Absolutely love that. There's so much juicy drama in this book; a revenge plot, a third act breakup and Elsie's prolonged search for health insurance. This book should be a movie, because it's so hard to explain it to someone. There's tons of layers. HIGHLY recommend this book and (in my experience so far) Ali Hazelwood's books in general.
