Rival physicists collide in a vortex of academic feuds and fake dating shenanigans in this delightfully STEMinist romcom from the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis and Love on the Brain.
3.5/5 stars – I was a fan of The Love Hypothesis after I read it last year, and I thought Love, Theoretically was just as charming and engaging. While the book had its flaws and I generally agree with some of the criticism (although I’m not sure I would have registered the constant mentions of Jack being such a big man if it weren’t for all the reviews lol) – I had so much fun reading the book and immersing myself in the world & the characters.
I could relate to Elsie’s attempts to chameleon herself and be a people pleaser. I did kind of feel like Jack came on a little strong about this but it was what she needed.
***SPOILER BELOW***
I genuinely cried when Elsie found out she didn’t get the job – kudos that scene was very well written. Enjoyed the resolution and that the epiloge wasn’t super cheesy.
I will say, I appreciated the Diabetes inclusion but after reading reviews from people with T1D, it was disappointing the author didn’t research more to ensure the character’s experience was more realistic. I dropped a half star for this reason.
