Reviewed by Caroline⚜️Ich hatte mit diesem Buch wirklich gemischte Gefühle. Die ersten 100 Seiten haben sich für mich ziemlich gezogen. Das wissenschaftliche Setting war deutlich präsenter, als ich erwartet hatte, und da Technik und Wissenschaft überhaupt nicht mein Interessengebiet sind, fiel es mir schwer, richtig in die Geschichte hineinzufinden. Ab etwa Seite 100 wurde ich langsam wärmer mit der Story. Gefallen hat mir die Entwicklung der Protagonistin. Es war schön zu sehen, wie sie lernt, weniger People Pleasing zu betreiben, mehr auf sich selbst zu vertrauen und ihren eigenen Weg zu finden. Mit diesem Aspekt konnte ich irgendwann sogar ein Stück weit connecten. Trotzdem habe ich gemerkt, dass mir persönlich Atmosphäre, Setting und der allgemeine Vibe beim Lesen sehr wichtig sind. Ich hatte erwartet, dass das Buch etwas cozy wirkt, stattdessen empfand ich es durch den starken Wissenschaftsfokus eher als kühl und manchmal etwas zäh. Auch mit dem Schreibstil und der Protagonistin bin ich erst sehr spät warm geworden. Es ist definitiv kein schlechtes Buch, und ich verstehe, warum viele es lieben. Für mich persönlich hat aber einfach etwas gefehlt. Vielleicht ist STEM-Romance einfach nicht mein Genre. Trotzdem bin ich froh, es gelesen zu haben, weil ich dadurch meinen eigenen Lesegeschmack besser kennengelernt habe. Gleichzeitig fand ich die Geschichte aber auch irgendwie süß. Sie hat ihre schönen Momente und eine gute Botschaft & Jack mochte ich gerne. Trotzdem fand ich Elsie nie so ganz symphatisch & bisschen annoying und es hat mir einfach etwas gefehlt. 😅
Reviewed by KatharinaFav Ali Hazelwood Buch überhaupt!!!
Reviewed by Linne„The Love Hypothesis“ was the first romance book I remember reading years ago, and I fell in love with Ali Hazelwood’s writing style (although the steamy scenes aren’t really for me, but apart from that). It’s great that she gives women in STEM representation in her novels, because it’s really necessary. And in my opinion, physics is the best science of them all. Therefore, „Love, Theoretically“ didn’t disappoint at all! The whole theorists vs. experimentalists beef was funny to read because I could relate to it, and I feel like there are very few people who enjoy both parts equally. I could also deeply relate to Elsie’s overthinking and her tendency to adjust herself to everyone around her, and it was nice to see how Jack saw through all of it. The last third of the book lost me a little, though. I can’t really pinpoint why, maybe because of the long spicy scenes, which I ended up skimming a bit. Obviously, I loved the Olive and Adam cameo!
Reviewed by SilvanaThis was supposed to be an easy and superficial read. I was surprised when I’ve been pulled so deep and emotionally into the story. I really enjoyed it and really like this genre of Ali’s STEM romances, including the more problematic sides of academia. How the heck did I cry several times while reading this? Even over the girly friendship. “Did you think I wouldn’t love you otherwise?” Nahh, I couldn’t keep it together… and I love it. Some parts were a bit confusing and a little too much when the MC spiraled, and I didn’t really understand what was actually going on. Maybe that’s because I listened to the audiobook version? Regardless, I’m a big fan, and yes, I’m officially down bad for Ali Hazelwood’s STEM romances…..
