I don't know what it is about Ali's books (maybe it's men completing the basic tasks of accountability and allyship?), but I can't put her books down. All of them are great! I specifically like that the main character in this one learns to not mold herself to what everyone around her wants and learns to say no.

Sign me up for anything Ali Hazelwood writes! Who knew I'd love love stories set in the academia world so much? Fake dating tropes and enemies to lovers sold me on this one as well. I love that Elsie got paid to fake date people. What a smart way to make extra cash when your 9-5er isn't making ends meet. The relationship between Elsie and Jack was fire. I LOVED their chemistry. It leapt off the page and slapped me in the face. Highly recommend this book for any and all romcom fans!

I stumbled across an Ali Hazelwood book a little over a year ago. I enjoyed her smart characters, snappy dialog, and unnerving look at the issues of women in STEM. Love, Theoretically is another example of why her romance books are more than just steamy love stories. This time, our main character is Elsie, a recent Ph.D. graduate trying to find a research job while having to adjunct her life away to pay rent. Elsie takes a job at a fake girlfriend service to make ends meet, and the brother of her favorite client is Jack, a brooding physicist that may be the only thing standing between Elsie and her dream job at MIT. Elsie and Jack spend time together, and sparks fly. The book is a fun, romantic romp that is charming, sizzling love story. Elsie and Jack's story proves that Hazelwood is a master of romcom, and I can't wait to read more.

Always enjoyable and fun to read Ali Hazelwood. As a nurse I love these geeky romances with a badassery MC - these STEM romances are super fun to read.

There's an unquantifiable quality about Allie Hazelwood. This book is much like her first two, and yet I still read it in a single day. If you enjoyed her initial works, if you're all in for female empowerment, if you've ever been misled by a mentor, or if you crave a story where being taken care of doesn't compromise your badassery, this is a must-read. Plus, there's a tall smarty pants with a side of fake dating.

Grateful to NetGalley for providing me with an advanced reader's copy—thanks to them. All thoughts and opinions expressed are solely my own.

I very much enjoyed this from Ali Hazelwood! I think all of her characters/books tend to read the same but her formula works very well and I will continue picking up all of her books. I remain a fan of Hazelwood's very fun, very low stakes romances!

Love, Theoretically is Ali Hazelwood's best adult book so far.
It has everything, it was fun, cute funny... The perfect romance I could ask for.
Twilight references!!!!
The characters were amazing as always and I'm so attached to them and I can't wait to fall in love with her next characters again

I AM IN LOVE!!!! My favorite Ali Hazelwood books hands down. This book was quite literally so amazing. Obsessed would be an understatement.

ali hazelwood!!!! this is definitely one of my favorite books by her. she absolutely slayed. i loved the plot, the characters, the dialogue, the writing!!!!! just all around.. yes.

Do we see the pattern of past Stacee needing to be pushed?

I loved Elsie and Jack. She's sweet and loving. He's charming and standoffish. Together they have some animosity, loads of button pushing, and the slowest burn of chemistry that was so delicious. I also really really loved Cece and could have done with more of her.

Plot wise, it was good. I really enjoyed reading Elsie figure herself out. And Jack...he was something else. I was absolutely here for his always wanting to talk, for honesty, and how he was so so so smitten with her. I will say that I wanted loads more from the epilogue, but that's because I'm greedy.

Overall, this was delightful and I am really excited to see what Ali is going to do next.

**Huge thanks to the publisher for providing the arc free of charge**

Such a fun book! Ali Hazelwood never fails to up the ante in her books and delivers a romance even bette than the last.

As with all other books in this series, I absolutely loved this one. I really liked seeing characters in a slightly different corner of this world.

"I want you to marry me tomorrow so you can go on my health insurance" is not a sentence I ever thought I would find attractive. But here we are.

Also, HELP, THE AUTHOR'S NOTE. 😂😂😭😭😭

I really liked this book!

Love, Theoretically has been on my backlog of books to review for months. I know, shame. on. me. Particularly, because I really enjoyed this one by Ali Hazelwood. Love on the Brain was a big miss for me and the elements of Elsie and Jack's complex relationship made for quite the page-turner. Although, really, it meant I was alternating my AirPods since I listened to the audiobook courtesy of @PRHAudio and finished this in a day!

What I admire about Ali Hazelwood is that she brings to the forefront experiences of women in STEM. She also addresses the need to quit assigning stereotypes to women and really tackles the ugly side of academia. In particular, in this novel, I was drawn in by the fact that Elsie's job to make ends meet was posing as a fake girlfriend. People go broke putting themselves through school in the US. College Debt is real. Needing to take on jobs to keep going is real. I found that Elsie's use of her people skills was particularly clever and once again contributed to Hazelwood's knack for providing readers with a different view on "reputable jobs".

I am sad this book took me so long to review, because I really really enjoyed it. I actually felt like it didn't get the attention it deserved and I am very excited to try Hazelwood's debut YA novel, Check & Mate !

Unfortunately I feel like this is the same book just slightly changed, several times over. Some people love that but I think I'm a little burnt out on the same STEM romance formula.

Ali Hazwood's books are like a really rich chocolate cake-- you know what you're going to get and it's delicious when you're in the right mood for it, but you wouldn't want to have it every day. Yes the enemies to lovers, oblivious heroine who doesn't realize the gruff, giant of a man is in love with her is all the same, but dang if I don't still enjoy it every time. And the theoretical vs experimental physicist drama was quite interesting.

Thank you so much to Berkley Romance for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I am a big fan of The Love Hypothesis, but I was slightly disappointed in Love on the Brain. Love, Theoretically captures the charm and romance that was missing from Hazelwood's last release. Hazelwood included a cast of characters whose interpersonal relationships were both heartwarming and meaningful. I really enjoyed Elsie's friendship with Greg and her protectiveness of him.

While Ali Hazelwood does niche, she not trying to trick people into reading something they aren't expecting. It's abundantly clear this is another steminist novel, and the criticism she receives for continually writing them doesn't make sense. Overall, this book was a fun and cheesy romcom, and I cannot wait for what Ali Hazelwood has next.

I always have an absolute blast with Ali Hazelwood's books. The chemistry between the main characters was apparent from the very beginning and the prose flowed smoothly and beautifully, pulling me along for the ride.

Ali Hazelwood is an auto-buy author for me by now. I love her stories! They are sweet and comforting with just enough of snark and sass that make the stories fantastic. I Love, Theoretically is no different then the rest of her books.

Elsie is a chameleon. She can change who she is to fit the mood that and the person on a dime. When meeting Jack you realize there is a chemistry there that they both fight but you root for them. The opening chapter of this book, showing a very different start than what Ali usually does. While there are similarities that happen, but the sexual tension starts from the start. The sexism that females still go through in the science community brings this story to life. Elsie who fights back for the first time with her mentor who is a sexist pig and stifles her growth in the field that could have started her life is possibly my favorite thing that happens in this story.

Elsie's and Jack's story is timeless and amazing. I love how Hazelwood's writing is amazing but different across each story that she writes.

Love, Theoretically undoubtedy lives up to expectations. I found Elsie and Jack's characters delightful, entertaining and adorable. Plus, that ending was super swoon-worthy too!
