Love theoretically
Hi, everyone. I’m going to be doing a little love theoretically. I’m super excited because this book has kind of been popping off literally everywhere. I literally could not stand to see one more post about it on Instagram. And I was like, I need to really like dive into this book and kind of understand why everyone loves it.
That is what we’re going to do today. I’m really excited because I absolutely adore Love Hypothesis. Now that she made a second one, Ali Hayes would be never read it. And I also just love her writing in general. I don’t know one thing about physics or STEM yet. I just find myself, like, so obsessed with her book. Spoiler alert.
I’m starting the intro a little late because I did start reading Love Theoretically this morning on the bus to work and on the way home because I just kind of like got really like, into it. This reading log is going to be spoiler free, so I will not be seeing any spoilers. I will just kind of be vlogging.
My experience and how I’m feeling about the book and if I like it or not, and I have a feeling I’m not going to hate it, I feel like I’m going to really, really like it, just like everyone else. But yeah, so let’s keep reading and I will update you and we will see how I feel. Actually, I feel like I should just say how I feel in the first 130 pages, but I don’t know what the book is about.
I feel like I should just give you like a little bit of backstory. Basically, Elsey is a scientist. Literally, I will not be saying any of the terms because I guarantee I will be getting them wrong. So in my eyes, in my little, little piece size brain, she is a scientist. She is an adjunct professor right now. And I think that she is aiming to get a tenured position.
So she’s interviewing for I have no clue, like a research professor position, but like she it’s a very stable job versus what she has now. But she’s also doing fake dating on the side. So she’s fake dating this guy named George. And George has this brother Jack just so happens that she doesn’t know this while she’s fake. Killing George Jack is the one of the, like, evil professors that work where she’s applying for the job and he’s kind of like a deciding factor whether she gets the job or not.
I really like the banter. If it’s one thing that Allie Hazelwood does right, I think as she writes really, really entertaining banter, there’s a lot of chemistry between these two. I will say I’m only waterway through, but there’s a lot of banter. And Jack Smith, the male main character, is top notch. I’ve never really read a character like him, so I’m excited.
Have you ever let that “special someone” go… and regretted it ever since?
If you’re interested in rekindling that chemistry with “The One That Got Away”…
And if you want to force him or her to feel that DESIRE and ATTRACTION for you again…

I absolutely loved Adam and Olive, so I know I have to stop comparing these two, but I’m hoping that they remind me of them. I’m excited. I’m like, really, really excited, actually. So I’m going to keep reading because I can’t put Love Theoretically down and I will see you guys in my next clip. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I know I’m only like 130 something pages then, but if you listen to, like one of my recommendation, it’s going to be to read this book because I’m literally so attached to these characters.
God, I can’t even deal. Like, I would really love that he just set up for I’ll like, be kind of like our arch nemesis, his nemesis. But anyway, they, you know, have that witty, like banter where they kind of hate each other, enemies vibes. But he just stood up for her at a party, and I really know what to do.
And I thought, I’m literally giggling. So hard I can’t. I’m smiling, I can’t look down. I am so touched and I can understand why everyone loves it. And I don’t know. I just want to, like, savor reading it, but also like that lazy Sunday mornings hiding under the covers. I don’t mind staying with few. They a favorite movie.
They end right beside me. I don’t mind going it’s just us to the corner coffee shop. We like to go late night walks and I never did that. I had a long day or actually I just had a long day of dreaming about reading the book. I read a lot on the train this morning, so I kind of was keeping note.
I have a lot of talking points to kind of say to you guys. I said, basically, like, the story moves like a typical novel, but the way Allie Hazelwood writes these situations that the character finds themselves in is just like so captivating. Captivating because that sounds like I’m reading like a fine piece of literature. They’re so, like, addicting because you never just like, attach to the characters like 100 times more.
I also wrote that I could read the same story in a different font a million different times, and it was still a hit every single time because it is again like a typical romance. But something about these characters just makes you like it better. I got out of the confession part. I’m not going to say anything more because I don’t think that’s a spoiler, because every single romance novel has that confession part, you know, like the breakthrough, where like there’s just admitting and blah, blah, blah, literally in all capitals.
And I know that I can’t even explain to you how much I love Jack and how perfect he is to me because if you read this part, like, you would just know, like it goes on four pages about just basically how perfect he is and just how much of an I wish he was real. Can we talk about when a moment between two characters is happening?
It gets interrupted, like, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Like this cliche rom com moment where like something is happening between these two characters and then it gets interrupted that happen. And when I tell you, like there was anger boiling inside me, addicted and I didn’t even care because I just, like, kept reading, like it didn’t even stop me.

Like they were interrupted during their moment and then it just completely switched to like a different topic. And I hate every single part of it. Up said I’m still cooking and giggling, but because they got interrupted, although I wanted to say there’s so many thoughts running through this little piece is great. This book makes me want to go back to school and get my graduate degree in physics when I literally got a D in physics in high school.

So I keep calling this book Love Hypothesis one. It’s literally not. But I’m so happy that there is going to be a cameo of Olive two. She writes it in the beginning of her To all my readers, from the three days to where we are now, the at the adamant Olive cameo is for you. Like, are you kidding?
We’re definitely not going to be with you. I literally screamed when they mentioned Adam, but that’s all that I have. Those are my jumbling notes. I’m so sorry that I rambled, but I just had so many things to say about this book because I’m obsessed with it and I am about three quarters done. So that’s actually it’s such a big fat lie.
I’m a little more than halfway done. I’m on page 197, so I’m going to see how far I get tonight. And then we will recap and I’m sure I’m going to have more notes about this and more feelings. But we will say, okay, I need to say something like my biggest pet peeve, however, like when I’m reading a book, is when the female main character acts like she doesn’t.
Actually, she has no idea that the male main character is interested in her at all. Like she’s having a conversation with his grandma right now and she’s like, no. Like, we’ll never be together. Like, we’ll never we’re never going to end up together. And like, it bothers me so much because it’s like, okay, just admit that you like him.
Like, stop playing dumb. It hurts me so much. Hello, everyone. It is Friday the seventh, which means exactly ten days till my birthday. I got off of work at one and sped home and put my bathing suit on. I’ve been doing a lot of reading. I only have like 80 pages left, and I’m probably going to either finish it today or tomorrow morning.
I’m not. I don’t really have updates because nothing really has happened in the last few pages that we’ve spoken. I did read a scene that I feel like is worth talking about. Not really. It’s just worth mentioning that it was a little weird and I kind of felt uncomfortable and I kind of like didn’t know really how to interpret it, I guess, because sometimes I skip over certain words.
I don’t mean to, but I just like skim some parts when I get like flustered and I feel like my words are like blending together. I didn’t read that one like, thoroughly, but it just made me, like, uncomfortable to the scene. But I don’t know. I’m moving past it. I actually am on 317, so I have a little less than 80 pages left, so I’m going to do some reading, probably finish it and then I will tell you at the end all of my thoughts.
So probably the next time I speak to you is when I finished the book. But I’m sure something will pop up, so I’ll probably be back soon. Bruh.
Hi everyone. I am back with my final thought on love. Theoretically, I just finished it. Today is July 8th. It took me a few days to read it and I have a bunch of thoughts. I’m a little disappointed to say the least. Not to say the least, but I just am disappointed. I want to talk about one part in it was really promising this book and I was really obsessed with it.
As you can tell in my last reviews, I was like gushing about Love Theoretically. But I mentioned before in the last cut that there was a scene that made me uncomfortable. It didn’t really get better from there. Spicy, seeing it like it made me like, honestly, like, anxious. He he kept asking her, like, what do you want?
What do you want? What do you like? What do you like? And she like, didn’t respond like she had a hard time communicating and like the miscommunication and it was like he was trying to be understanding, but it just seemed like so pressuring them, like I genuinely was like, ill. I have the biggest ache from that. I literally cannot continue like, I had to like, literally skim the part because it was giving me the f a spicy scene.
Like shouldn’t be like that. It like, I don’t know, it was just very odd. Maybe it’s me, but I just felt uncomfortable. And then from that on, like there was about like 20 something pages left. So I kind of just sped through the ending on the ending was really cute. It was cute. It was cute, but I feel like I just lost interest towards the end.
And I love Love Theoretically, but it definitely like made my feelings about a little lower. Like it was a promising four stars, but now I’m feeling it’s like a three, seven five. I’m so probably going to write in a four star because in the beginning I was absolutely obsessed with it. But it was like that one part that just like didn’t do it for me.
It was just so cringe and it and like, that’s, that’s the one where you just like for the rest of the book, you just kept asking her like, what do you want? And she like, had no answer. And I guess like towards the end, obviously go towards the end, obviously there’s character development and she has an answer. But it just like made me literally like I was just getting like anxious and like annoyed with the whole situation.
Obviously, I’m understanding like, I get it. I completely understand the issues that the McPhee my main character has, but I don’t know, it just like was like going on for like way too long. Like he, he could have said, like, what do you want? And she just said, I don’t know. I haven’t kind of ended like that. But again, the story was really good.
Like I said, it made it made me want to learn physics, which I never will. It was really entertaining, really cute, kind of lighthearted, you know, just like, nice, like, feel good rom com. So I really, really liked it in that part. But again, like, I have a hard time looking past certain things and like, that’s the part that like, threw me off.
But again, that’s me. Like, you obviously may not feel like this, but I just did, so don’t necessarily base it off my opinion on that one part. Again, it was a small part out of a whole book that I like I did. I am going to write it for Starz. So I definitely recommend you to read this. I want to know if you read it, so if you have a comment below.
But yeah, I think I want to end the reading blog here. Let me know if there are any other books that you want me to read and follow Reading Love and I will do so. So thank you so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed my little spiels and my rambling. I’m so sorry. I could be so annoying sometimes, but yeah, thank you for reading and I’ll see you.
