The Love Hypothesis

Olive Smith, doktorantka na Wydziale Biologii Uniwersytetu Stanforda, niedawno rozstała się ze swoim chłopakiem Jeremym. Aby udowodnić przyjaciółce Anh, że nic ich już nie łączy – w końcu naukowców interesują tylko namacalne dowody – Olive postanawia pocałować pierwszego mężczyznę, którego spotka na swojej drodze. Jej wybór pada na doktora Adama Carlsena, przystojnego i genialnego wykładowcę, który jest postrachem studentów. O dziwo, największa gwiazda Uniwersytetu Stanforda, a zarazem czołowy wydziałowy tyran, zgadza się udawać jej chłopaka. Wszystko komplikuje się podczas ważnej konferencji naukowej. Kariera Olive wisi na włosku. Ale wtedy Adam zaskakuje ją po raz kolejny, oferując swoje wsparcie oraz… jedną niezapomnianą noc. Tak oto ten niewielki eksperyment przeradza się w odkrycie stulecia. A Olive dowiaduje się, że jedyną rzeczą trudniejszą niż próba ujęcia miłości w naukowe ramy jest zmierzenie się z własnymi uczuciami.

Fejkowa miłość – prawdziwy hit.

Hipoteza: Czasem banalne rozwiązania są przepisem na prawdziwy bestseller, jeśli tylko zagra w nich nuta autentycznej oryginalności.

Olive jest doktorantką trzeciego roku, która nie ma czasu na randki, miłość czy cokolwiek poza szalką Petriego i spotkaniami z przyjaciółmi – Anh i Malcolmem. Łączy ją z nimi ten rodzaj przyjaźni, za którą wskoczysz w ogień lub nawet pocałujesz zupełnie przypadkową osobę. Olive chce, aby jej przyjaciółka umówiła się z chłopakiem, z którym kiedyś się spotkała, ale nic między nimi nie zaiskrzyło. Jednak Anh nie czuje się przekonana i nie chce urazić uczuć swojej przyjaciółki. W końcu przyjaźń ponad wszelkie zauroczenia.

Wszystko zaczyna się w Tym dniu, napisanym przez duże „T”, gdy Olive nie mając wiele czasu na wybrnięcie ze swojego pierwszego kłamstwa, odwraca się i całuje mężczyznę, który był z nią w laboratorium. Wszystko po to, by uwiarygodnić, że właśnie Tego dnia ma randkę i jest zainteresowana innym mężczyzną. A nim okazuje się zrzędliwy i budzący postrach wśród studentów profesor Adam Carlsen. Młoda doktorantka obawia się konsekwencji, ale sprawa zdaje się przejść bez echa. Jednak niebawem cały campus zaczyna huczeć od plotek o rzekomym romansie między nimi.

Olive staje się zakładniczką swojego kłamstwa, a Carlsen postanawia również w nie wejść. Chce przekonać dziekana, że nie przeniesie się na inną uczelnię. Uwiarygadniając to związkiem ze studentką, ma nadzieję, że dziekan zwolni zamrożone pieniądze na prowadzone przez niego badania. Ale czy to jedyny powód, dla którego od tego momentu w każdą środę będzie kupować Olive słodką kawę, której nie znosi, i spędzać z nią czas?

Fanfik, dla którego warto się poświęcić

Historia „The Love Hypothesis” powstała na bazie fanfiku. W trakcie procesu redakcyjnego z pewnością przeszła trochę zmian, co jest wyczuwalne. Pierwsze rozdziały, choć ocierające się o banalność, budzą ciekawość – jak rozwinie się relacja bohaterów. Dodatkowo ich poczucie humoru bazujące na ironii i lekkiej zgryźliwości umila kolejne strony. Jednak osobiście poczułam znużenie, czytając kolejny raz w środku historii powielone na różne sposoby zdania o tym, jaki Carlsen bywa okrutny dla studentów, gdy w prywatnej relacji z Olive jest nieśmiałym i otaczającym troską udawanym partnerem. Dodatkowo ich nieśmiałość i nieporadność w relacji, gdy udają związek (podczas kiedy naprawdę są sobą zauroczeni),wypada nieco infantylnie. Jednak gdy akcja się rozkręca, na scenę wkracza Tom Benton i wątek uczelnianego mobbingu, historia na nowo nabiera charakteru.

Od oklepanych motywów do oryginalnej historii

Nic dziwnego, że Ali Hazelwood podbiła serca czytelników. W „The Love Hypothesis” sięga po najgorętsze i wypatrywane przez miłośników rom-comów motywy: slow burn romance, fake dating, romans w miejscu pracy, różnica wieku, przeciwieństwo charakterów. Choć to zdecydowany przepis na przewidywalną historię, Hazelwood obudowała ją uczelnianą rzeczywistością, która nadała jej niebanalny charakter. Poruszane tematy uczelnianej rywalizacji o granty, wykorzystywanie pozycji przez wyższych rangą naukowców, niedofinansowanie uczelni czy dyskryminacja kobiet w nauce w wykonaniu autorki wypadły bardzo autentycznie. Sama Hazelwood, jako profesorka, bardzo dobrze zna uczelnianą rzeczywistość i wszystkie jej bolączki.

Książka dla czytelników 18+

Autorka długo każe czekać na gorącą scenę pomiędzy bohaterami, jednak to, w jaki sposób prowadzi narrację, rekompensuje oczekiwanie. Pozbawiona wulgarności, ale rozpalająca zmysły i wyobraźnię długa scena to coś, co nieczęsto można spotkać. Po takim zbliżeniu miałoby się ochotę na więcej. Co prawda nie dostaniemy tego już w tej książce, ale to dobra wędka i haczyk, by sięgnąć po kolejne jej powieści.

Gdybym miała rozstrzygnąć fenomen tej książki, to nie dziwi mnie on absolutnie. Relacje bohaterów są urocze, przez historię przewijają się popularne motywy, więc wielu czytelników poczuje satysfakcję i zakocha się w powieści. Z tych samych powodów część czytelników poczuje rozczarowanie, bo „The Love Hypothesis” to odhaczenie kolejnych punktów z przepisu na idealny romans. Pozostaje odpowiedzieć sobie na pytanie, czy aktualnie szukamy uroczej historii, czy oczekujemy wyjątkowych i niepowtarzalnych fajerwerków. Dla mnie koniec końców spotkanie okazało się przyjemne i z pewnym sentymentem będę myśleć o bohaterach wykreowanych przez Hazelwood.

--> OPINIE i DYSKUSJE

Nie czytam fanficków, więc po prostu nie jestem targetem tej książki, ale chciałam przeczytać coś lekkiego i padło na The Love Hypothesis. Nie czytało się źle, ale to jest tak schematyczna ksiazka, że na spokojnie chatgpt mógł to wygenerować na hasło "grumpy i sunshine ale z posypką STEAM". Widziałam opinie, że książkę wyróżnia właśnie ta naukowa strona, ale tu nawet nie ma jakichś insiderskich ciekawych faktów. To, że w nauce zdarzają się ludzie, którzy nadużywają pozycji czy dyskryminują ze względu na płeć już wiedziałam. Rozumiem, że autorka chce tylko powiedzieć że doktoranci mało zarabiają i wstawiać hipotezy zamiast tytułów rozdziałów i jak najbardziej jej prawo, ale nie róbmy z tego rewolucji w opowiadaniu o STEM. W każdym razie, najgorsza część ksiazki w moim rankingu, to gdy Olive mówi Adamowi, żeby się pierdolil, ponieważ ten kazał jakiemuś doktorantowi poprawić pracę 🙃🫠

Świetna książka. Może "niedbały" styl pisania nie każdemu przypadnie do gustu, ale bardzo przyjemnie się to czyta. Według mnie w książce nie ma jakiś głównych akcji, wydarzeń, ale mimo tego naprawdę podoba mi się cała ta historia i wciągnęła mnie niesamowicie. Rzadko zdarza mi się polubić obu bohaterów tak mocno, jak Olive i Adama.

Przyjemna, romantyczna, troszkę podkoloryzowana ale naprawdę miło się czytało, a sama historia sprawiła że można się uśmiechnąć podczas czytania! Polecam!

Czy udawany romans doktorantki z wykładowcą jest możliwy? Jakie korzyści z tego mają? Olive Smith rozstaje się ze swoim chłopakiem, który podoba się jej przyjaciółce. Ahn jednak ma zasady, których chce się trzymać, dlatego Oli musi jej udowodnić, że z Jeremym to już koniec. Do tego postanawia, że pokaże swojej przyjaciółce, że z kimś się spotyka. Nie wie jednak, że jej wybór, a właściwie przypadkowy mężczyzna, którego planuje wykorzystać to Adam Carlsen - wykładowca i postrach uczelni. Adam to wydziałowy koszmar studentów. Przystojny, dobrze zbudowany i wysoki mężczyzna, wydawać by się mogło, że zgłosi tę sprawę jako napastowanie na tle seksualnym, ale nic bardziej mylnego, ponieważ on również może skorzystać na tym układzie. Książka uważam, że zdecydowanie lepsza niż Love on the Brain, którą jakiś czas temu czytałam. Zdecydowanie przyjemniej się czyta, a ich pierwsze 'zbliżenia' są tak niezręczne i urocze, że nie mogłam się oderwać od książki. Adam okazał się być naprawdę świetnym przyjacielem Olive, choć jak wiadomo jest to romans, więc nie zabrakło u nich również emocji, które rozpalą ogień u nie jednego czytelnika. Naprawdę świetna książka z elementami nauki, który bardzo mi imponuję, a właściwie autorka mi imponuję, bo prócz romansów, napisała również wiele publikacji naukowych. Po tej książce od razu dołożyłam resztę jej książek do swojego koszyka.

Słabsza od "Love, Theoretically", którą czytałam jako pierwszą książkę autorki. Przyjemny romans z światem akademickim w roli głównej.

Fajny naukowy romans, ale „Love one the brain” podobało mi się bardziej. Tutaj początek mnie nie przekonał. Mam wrażenie, że to wszystko było jakieś wymuszone. Trochę jakby zabrakło pomysłu na rozpoczęcie historii. I drażniła mnie główna bohaterka, ale Ali pisze cudowne romanse. Pomimo tych dwóch wad, czytało się szybko i przyjemnie.

Bardzo staram się nie zostać nastoletnią, piszczącą romansiarą, ale po tej książce może być z tym ciężko

Fake dating? Biorę w ciemno🤭 Dodajmy do tego he fell first i grumpy x sunshine i historia idealna. Tak właśnie jest z The love hypothesis uwielbiam dosłownie wszystko w tej książce, mimo początkowego zagubienia w historii spowodowanego szybką akcją na początku. Książkę czyta się bardzo szybko i przyjemnie, sama pochłonęłam ją prawie na raz😁 Pomimo wolnego rozwoju uczuć Olive, książka jest pełna emocjonujących i niespodziewanych sytuacji. Zdecydowanie tym sytuacjom pomaga przyjaciółka głównej bohaterki🤭 A co do Adama… no cóż mam nowego książkowego męża😂 Nie mogę się doczekać aby sięgnąć po więcej książek od Ali Hazelwood🩵

Bardzo przewidywalna i sama fabuła taka wielokrotnie przetrawiona. Książka raczej dla miłujących się w życiu studenckim i kierunkach ścisłych. Nie trafiła w mój gust ale przyznam że dobrze się to mi czytało. Lekka taka i przyjemna. Autorka ma coś w sobie widocznie. Zaciekawiła mnie. Chętnie sięgnę po resztę jej książek

Chapter One

Hypothesis: When given a choice between A (a slightly inconveniencing situation) and B (a colossal shitshow with devastating consequences), I will inevitably end up selecting B.

In Olive's defense, the man didn't seem to mind the kiss too much.

It did take him a moment to adjust-perfectly understandable, given the sudden circumstances. It was an awkward, uncomfortable, somewhat painful minute, in which Olive was simultaneously smashing her lips against his and pushing herself as high as her toes would extend to keep her mouth at the same level as his face. Did he have to be so tall? The kiss must have looked like some clumsy headbutt, and she grew anxious that she was not going to be able to pull the whole thing off. Her friend Anh, whom Olive had spotted coming her way a few seconds ago, was going to take one look at this and know at once that Olive and Kiss Dude couldn't possibly be two people in the middle of a date.

Then that agonizingly slow moment went by, and the kiss became . . . different. The man inhaled sharply and inclined his head a tiny bit, making Olive feel less like a squirrel monkey climbing a baobab tree, and his hands-which were large and pleasantly warm in the AC of the hallway-closed around her waist. They slid up a few inches, coming to wrap around Olive's rib cage and holding her to himself. Not too close, and not too far.

It was more of a prolonged peck than anything, but it was quite nice, and for the life span of a few seconds Olive forgot a large number of things, including the fact that she was pressed against a random, unknown dude. That she'd barely had the time to whisper "Can I please kiss you?" before locking lips with him. That what had originally driven her to put on this entire show was the hope of fooling Anh, her best friend in the whole world.

But a good kiss will do that: make a girl forget herself for a while. Olive found herself melting into a broad, solid chest that showed absolutely no give. Her hands traveled from a defined jaw into surprisingly thick and soft hair, and then-then she heard herself sigh, as if already out of breath, and that's when it hit her like a brick on the head, the realization that- No. No.

Nope, nope, no.

She should not be enjoying this. Random dude, and all that.

Olive gasped and pushed herself away from him, frantically looking for Anh. In the 11:00 p.m. bluish glow of the biology labs' hallway, her friend was nowhere to be seen. Weird. Olive was sure she had spotted her a few seconds earlier.

Kiss Dude, on the other hand, was standing right in front of her, lips parted, chest rising and a weird light flickering in his eyes, which was exactly when it dawned on her, the enormity of what she had just done. Of who she had just-

Fuck her life.

Fuck. Her. Life.

Because Dr. Adam Carlsen was a known ass.

This fact was not remarkable in and of itself, as in academia every position above the graduate student level (Olive's level, sadly) required some degree of assness in order to be held for any length of time, with tenured faculty at the very peak of the ass pyramid. Dr. Carlsen, though-he was exceptional. At least if the rumors were anything to go by.

He was the reason Olive's roommate, Malcolm, had to completely scrap two research projects and would likely end up graduating a year late; the one who had made Jeremy throw up from anxiety before his qualifying exams; the sole culprit for half the students in the department being forced to postpone their thesis defenses. Joe, who used to be in Olive's cohort and would take her to watch out-of-focus European movies with microscopic subtitles every Thursday night, had been a research assistant in Carlsen's lab, but he'd decided to drop out six months into it for "reasons." It was probably for the best, since most of Carlsen's remaining graduate assistants had perennially shaky hands and often looked like they hadn't slept in a year.

Dr. Carlsen might have been a young academic rock star and biology's wunderkind, but he was also mean and hypercritical, and it was obvious in the way he spoke, in the way he carried himself, that he thought himself the only person doing decent science within the Stanford biology department. Within the entire world, probably. He was a notoriously moody, obnoxious, terrifying dick.

And Olive had just kissed him.

She wasn't sure how long the silence lasted-only that he was the one to break it. He stood in front of Olive, ridiculously intimidating with dark eyes and even darker hair, staring down from who knows how many inches above six feet-he must have been over half a foot taller than she was. He scowled, an expression that she recognized from seeing him attend the departmental seminar, a look that usually preceded him raising his hand to point out some perceived fatal flaw in the speaker's work.

Adam Carlsen. Destroyer of research careers , Olive had once overheard her adviser say.

It's okay. It's fine. Totally fine. She was just going to pretend nothing had happened, nod at him politely, and tiptoe her way out of here. Yes, solid plan.

"Did you . . . Did you just kiss me?" He sounded puzzled, and maybe a little out of breath. His lips were full and plump and . . . God. Kissed. There was simply no way Olive could get away with denying what she had just done.

Still, it was worth a try.

Surprisingly, it seemed to work.

"Ah. Okay, then." Carlsen nodded and turned around, looking vaguely disoriented. He took a couple of steps down the hallway, reached the water fountain-maybe where he'd been headed in the first place.

Olive was starting to believe that she might actually be off the hook when he halted and turned back with a skeptical expression.

"Are you sure?"

"I-" She buried her face in her hands. "It's not the way it looks."

"Okay. I . . . Okay," he repeated slowly. His voice was deep and low and sounded a lot like he was on his way to get ting mad. Like maybe he was already mad. "What's going on here?"

There was simply no way to explain this. Any normal person would have found Olive's situation odd, but Adam Carlsen, who obviously considered empathy a bug and not a feature of humanity, could never understand. She let her hands fall to her sides and took a deep breath.

"I . . . listen, I don't mean to be rude, but this is really none of your business."

He stared at her for a moment, and then he nodded. "Yes. Of course." He must be getting back into his usual groove, because his tone had lost some of its surprise and was back to normal-dry. Laconic. "I'll just go back to my office and begin to work on my Title IX complaint."

Olive exhaled in relief. "Yeah. That would be great, since- Wait. Your what?"

He cocked his head. "Title IX is a federal law that protects against sexual misconduct within academic settings-"

"I know what Title IX is."

"I see. So you willfully chose to disregard it."

"I- What? No. No, I didn't!"

He shrugged. "I must be mistaken, then. Someone else must have assaulted me."

"Assault-I didn't 'assault' you."

"You did kiss me."

"But not really ."

"Without first securing my consent."

"I asked if I could kiss you!"

"And then did so without waiting for my response."

"What? You said yes."

"Excuse me?"

She frowned. "I asked if I could kiss you, and you said yes."

"Incorrect. You asked if you could kiss me and I snorted."

"I'm pretty sure I heard you said yes."

He lifted one eyebrow, and for a minute Olive let herself daydream of drowning someone. Dr. Carlsen. Herself. Both sounded like great options.

"Listen, I'm really sorry. It was a weird situation. Can we just forget that this happened?"

He studied her for a long moment, his angular face serious and something else, something that she couldn't quite decipher because she was too busy noticing all over again how damn towering and broad he was. Just massive. Olive had always been slight, just this side of too slender, but girls who are five eight rarely felt diminutive. At least until they found themselves standing next to Adam Carlsen. She'd known that he was tall, of course, from seeing him around the department or walking across campus, from sharing the elevator with him, but they'd never interacted. Never been this close.

Except for a second ago, Olive. When you almost put your tongue in his-

"Is something wrong?" He sounded almost concerned.

"What? No. No, there isn't."

"Because," he continued calmly, "kissing a stranger at midnight in a science lab might be a sign that there is."

"There isn't."

Carlsen nodded, thoughtful. "Very well. Expect mail in the next few days, then." He began to walk past her, and she turned to yell after him.

"You didn't even ask my name!"

"I'm sure anyone could figure it out, since you must have swiped your badge to get in the labs area after hours. Have a good night."

"Wait!" She leaned forward and stopped him with a hand on his wrist. He paused immediately, even though it was obvious that it would take him no effort to free himself, and stared pointedly at the spot where her fingers had wrapped around his skin-right below a wristwatch that probably cost half her yearly graduate salary. Or all of it.

She let go of him at once and took one step back. "Sorry, I didn't mean to-"

"The kiss. Explain."

Olive bit into her lower lip. She had truly screwed herself over. She had to tell him, now. "Anh Pham." She looked around to make sure Anh was really gone. "The girl who was passing by. She's a graduate student in the biology department."

Carlsen gave no indication of knowing who Anh was.

"Anh has . . ." Olive pushed a strand of brown hair behind her ear. This was where the story became embarrassing. Complicated, and a little juvenile sounding. "I was seeing this guy in the department. Jeremy Langley, he has red hair and works with Dr. . . . Anyway, we went out just a couple of times, and then I brought him to Anh's birthday party, and they just sort of hit it off and-"

Olive shut her eyes. Which was probably a bad idea, because now she could see it painted on her lids, how her best friend and her date had bantered in that bowling alley, as if they'd known each other their whole lives; the never-exhausted topics of conversation, the laughter, and then, at the end of the night, Jeremy following Anh's every move with his gaze. It had been painfully clear who he was interested in. Olive waved a hand and tried for a smile.

"Long story short, after Jeremy and I ended things he asked Anh out. She said no because of . . . girl code and all that, but I can tell that she really likes him. She's afraid to hurt my feelings, and no matter how many times I told her it was fine she wouldn't believe me."

Not to mention that the other day I overheard her confess to our friend Malcolm that she thought Jeremy was awesome, but she could never betray me by going out with him, and she sounded so dejected. Disappointed and insecure, not at all like the spunky, larger-than-life Anh I am used to.

"So I just lied and told her that I was already dating someone else. Because she's one of my closest friends and I'd never seen her like a guy this much and I want her to have the good things she deserves and I'm positive that she would do the same for me and-" Olive realized that she was rambling and that Carlsen couldn't have cared less. She stopped and swallowed, even though her mouth felt dry. "Tonight. I told her I'd be on a date tonight ."

"Ah." His expression was unreadable.

"But I'm not. So I decided to come in to work on an experiment, but Anh showed up, too. She wasn't supposed to be here. But she was. Coming this way. And I panicked-well." Olive wiped a hand down her face. "I didn't really think."

Carlsen didn't say anything, but it was there in his eyes that he was thinking. Obviously.

"I just needed her to believe that I was on a date."

He nodded. "So you kissed the first person you saw in the hallway. Perfectly logical."

Olive winced. "When you put it like that, perhaps it wasn't my best moment."

"But it wasn't my worst, either! I'm pretty sure Anh saw us. Now she'll think that I was on a date with you and she'll hopefully feel free to go out with Jeremy and-" She shook her head. "Listen. I'm so, so sorry about the kiss."

"Please, don't report me. I really thought I heard you say yes. I promise I didn't mean to . . ."

Suddenly, the enormity of what she had just done fully dawned on her. She had just kissed a random guy, a guy who happened to be the most notoriously unpleasant faculty member in the biology department. She'd misunderstood a snort for consent, she'd basically attacked him in the hallway, and now he was staring at her in that odd, pensive way, so large and focused and close to her, and . . .

Maybe it was the late night. Maybe it was that her last coffee had been sixteen hours ago. Maybe it was Adam Carlsen looking down at her, like that. All of a sudden, this entire situation was just too much.

"Actually, you're absolutely right. And I am so sorry. If you felt in any way harassed by me, you really should report me, because it's only fair. It was a horrible thing to do, though I really didn't want to . . . Not that my intentions matter; it's more like your perception of . . ."

Crap, crap, crap.

"I'm going to leave now, okay? Thank you, and . . . I am so, so, so sorry." Olive spun around on her heels and ran away down the hallway.

"Olive," she heard him call after her. "Olive, wait-"

She didn't stop. She sprinted down the stairs to the first floor and then out the building and across the pathways of the sparsely lit Stanford campus, running past a girl walking her dog and a group of students laughing in front of the library. She continued until she was standing in front of her apartment's door, stopping only to unlock it, making a beeline for her room in the hope of avoiding her roommate and whoever he might have brought home tonight. It wasn’t until she slumped on her bed, staring at the glow‑in‑the- dark stars glued to her ceiling, that she realized that she had neglected to check on her lab mice. She had also left her laptop on her bench and her sweatshirt somewhere in the lab, and she had completely forgotten to stop at the store and buy the coffee she’d promised Malcolm she’d get for tomorrow morning. Shit. What a disaster of a day. It never occurred to Olive that Dr. Adam Carlsen— known ass— had called her by her name.

About the author

Ali hazelwood.

Ali Hazelwood is a multi-published author—alas, of peer-reviewed articles about brain science, in which no one makes out and the ever after is not always happy. Originally from Italy, she lived in Germany and Japan before moving to the U.S. to pursue a Ph.D. in neuroscience. She recently became a professor, which absolutely terrifies her. When Ali is not at work, she can be found running, crocheting, eating cake pops, or watching sci-fi movies with her two feline overlords (and her slightly-less-feline husband).

Educational Value

An author's note explains Title IX and offers websites supporting women and BIPOC women in STEM academic fields. The overall story provides insight into graduate and postgraduate academic life and careers, especially in STEM fields.

Positive Messages

You have to be strong and tough to make it in the academic world, especially in STEM fields. Don't be afraid to speak up when you've been harmed or you learn about something unethical. Your web of lies will eventually come to light, and when it does, it may cause more hurt than being truthful from the start would have.

Positive Role Models

Olive and Ahn are good models of women in STEM. They're extremely loyal and supportive of each other, and Anh creates chances to support other women, especially BIPOC women in STEM. Adam is very protective and kind on a personal level toward Olive, but to his students he's harsh and uncompromising and seems uncaring. Olive makes a grand gesture out of compassion for Anh and models perseverance in advancing her research and career.

Diverse Representations

Olive reads as White, is from Canada, and is very slim. Adam implies he's Jewish and is very tall and powerfully built. Best friend Anh's family is from Vietnam, and she identifies as a woman of color. Roommate Malcolm reads as White, dates men, and enters a romantic relationship with another man. Olive wonders if she's asexual.

Violence & Scariness

An incident of verbal sexual assault with an attempted kiss and coercion. An excerpt at the end from a future book has sexual harassment and cyberbullying. A man pins another against a wall by the collar and threatens to kill him.

Did you know you can flag iffy content? Adjust limits for Violence & Scariness in your kid's entertainment guide.

Sex, Romance & Nudity

Other than a few kisses and some romantic tension, there's only one sex scene, but it's extended, explicit, and meant to arouse. Oral and genital sex, manual stimulation, genital penetration, sucking nipples and genitals, and orgasm are described in detail with some crude words like "clit" and "c--k." Good examples of consent are modeled, and birth control and being "clean" are talked about. A few times adults talk about sex or sex acts like sixty-nining, butt stuff, and getting a "hand job."

Products & Purchases

A few food and beverage brands, and a couple of entertainment franchises to establish character and setting.

Drinking, Drugs & Smoking

All characters are adults of legal drinking age in California, where the story is set. Very little actual drinking is depicted, but there are mentions of past drunkenness, a weekly beer and s'mores night, and taking advantage of free alcohol at academic meetings and conferences.

Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Ali Hazelwood's The Love Hypothesis is an adult romance set in the higher levels of academia at Stanford University. Ph.D. candidate Olive starts a fake relationship with a professor in hopes of inspiring her best friend to go for the man she's really interested in. Other than a few kisses and some romantic tension, there's only one sex scene, but it's extended, explicit, and meant to arouse. Oral and genital sex, manual stimulation, genital penetration, sucking nipples and genitals, and orgasm are described in detail with words like "clit" and "c--k." Main character Olive experiences verbal sexual assault, and an excerpt from another book in the back has sexual harassment and cyberbullying. Strong language includes "c--k," "d--k," "f--k," "pr--k," "s--t," and more. Adults mention past excessive drinking, look forward to free alcohol at university events, and have a weekly "beer and s'mores night." Two characters remember one of them projectile vomiting after eating bad shrimp, but it's not described. Olive is an orphan with no family. Her mother died of pancreatic cancer, so grief and loss are important themes, along with the struggles women still face in STEM-related fields.

What's the Story?

THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS is about Stanford graduate student Olive, who needs to convince her best friend, Anh, that it's OK for Anh to date a guy Olive had recently been seeing but wasn't really interested in. So she hatches a plan to "fake-date" none other than the Biology department's most prestigious professor, Adam Carlsen, who's also a huge jerk. As Olive and Adam's ruse gets harder and harder to keep up, Olive starts to feel like she wishes their dating wasn't actually fake. Will she be able to untangle her web of lies without ruining everything, for everyone?

Is It Any Good?

This romance set in the lofty world of a prestigious graduate school program has its ups and downs. It's refreshing to see women in STEM represented and important to highlight how much many women struggle in that world. The Love Hypothesis has some funny banter, especially with colorful supporting characters. Readers who enjoy very familiar romcom tropes will feel at home here, because this story is chock-full of them. The one explicit sex scene is easy to skip for those who aren't interested. A big drawback is Olive's truly bad and unrealistic decision making, which strains believability and takes the reader outside the story.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

Families can talk about the graphic sex in The Love Hypothesis . Is it over-the-top? Realistic? Is reading about it different from seeing it in movies, videos, and other media?

What are some concerns about reading or watching explicit sex ? Do you compare yourself or your body to the characters? Does it make you afraid, feel creepy, or unsure about what sex is like for real people?

What about all the strong language? Is it realistic? Is it a big deal? Why, or why not?

Talk about women studying and working in STEM fields. What are some of the challenges Olive and Ahn face? How do they deal with them? Who supports them? What can men do to make STEM fields more welcoming and inclusive?

Different Types of Intelligence

Through the representation of academia , Olive’s difficulty to parse her emotions, and the differences between Olive and Malcolm , The Love Hypothesis shows how there are different types of intelligence. Olive, Adam, and others within the Stanford community possess intelligence, as evidenced by the fact they work in academia. Many of Olive’s thoughts about her experiment show how she understands the material and is always seeking new information with which to supplement what she already believes. Tom’s insults in later chapters reveal just how intelligent Olive is. While Tom also possesses a level of intelligence to remain in the field, even if that intelligence is only enough for him to copy and add to the work of others, his jealousy and view of Olive as a threat shows just how intelligent her thought processes are.

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

When a fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction, it throws one woman’s carefully calculated theories on love into chaos.

As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn’t believe in lasting romantic relationships–but her best friend does, and that’s what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive is dating and well on her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees.

That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor–and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford’s reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive’s career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support and even more unyielding…six-pack abs.

Suddenly their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.

The Love Hypothesis Review

The Love Hypothesis is a captivating and heartwarming romance that delves into the complexities of academia and love. The story revolves around Olive Smith, a dedicated PhD student, and Adam Carlsen, a charming and cocky professor. Both characters are beautifully crafted with depth and vulnerability, making them relatable and endearing to readers.

The romance between Olive and Adam is a slow-burn delight, filled with moments of vulnerability and tenderness that will leave you swooning. Their undeniable chemistry and emotional connection create an engaging and satisfying love story. The witty banter between the two adds a delightful touch to their interactions.

Ali Hazelwood’s writing is both engaging and emotionally resonant, effortlessly drawing readers into the world of academia and scientific research. The novel’s exploration of the characters’ hidden depths and vulnerability adds layers to the story, making it a truly captivating read from beginning to end. “The Love Hypothesis” is a must-read for anyone looking for a heartwarming and well-developed romance that will stay with you long after you’ve turned the last page.

The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas

Catalina Martín desperately needs a date to her sister’s wedding. Especially since her little white lie about her American boyfriend has spiralled out of control. Now everyone she knows—including her ex and his fiancée—will be there and eager to meet him.

She only has four weeks to find someone willing to cross the Atlantic and aid in her deception. New York to Spain is no short flight and her raucous family won’t be easy to fool.

Enter Aaron Blackford—her tall, handsome, condescending colleague—who surprisingly offers to step in. She’d rather refuse; never has there been a more aggravating, blood-boiling, and insufferable man.

But Catalina is desperate, and as the wedding draws nearer, Aaron looks like her best option. And she begins to realize he might not be as terrible in the real world as he is at the office.

This book was cute to read! Also have the only one bed trope and enemies to lovers (of course).

Twisted Games by Ana Huang

She can never be his…but he’s taking her anyway.

Stoic, broody, and arrogant, elite bodyguard Rhys Larsen has two rules: 1) Protect his clients at all costs 2) Do not become emotionally involved. Ever.

He has never once been tempted to break those rules…until  her.

Bridget von Ascheberg. A princess with a stubborn streak that matches his own and a hidden fire that reduces his rules to ash. She’s nothing he expected and everything he never knew he needed.

Day by day, inch by inch, she breaks down his defences until he’s faced with a truth he can no longer deny: he swore an oath to protect her, but all he wants is to ruin her. Take her.

Because she’s his.

His princess. His forbidden fruit. His every depraved fantasy.

Regal, strong-willed, and bound by the chains of duty, Princess Bridget dreams of the freedom to live and love as she chooses.

But when her brother abdicates, she’s suddenly faced with the prospect of a loveless, politically expedient marriage and a throne she never wanted.

And as she navigates the intricacies—and treacheries—of her new role, she must also hide her desire for a man she can’t have.

Her bodyguard. Her protector. Her ultimate ruin.

Unexpected and forbidden, theirs is a love that could destroy a kingdom…and doom them both.

Icebreaker by Hannah Grace

Anastasia Allen has worked her entire life for a shot at Team USA.

A competitive figure skater since she was five years old, a full college scholarship thanks to her place on the Maple Hills skating team, and a schedule that would make even the most driven person weep, Stassie comes to win.

No exceptions.

Nathan Hawkins has never had a problem he couldn’t solve. As captain of the Maple Hills Titans, he knows the responsibility of keeping the hockey team on the ice rests on his shoulders.

When a misunderstanding results in the two teams sharing a rink, and Anastasia’s partner gets hurt in the aftermath, Nate finds himself swapping his stick for tights, and one scary coach for an even scarier one.

The pair find themselves stuck together in more ways than one, but it’s fine, because Anastasia doesn’t even like hockey players…right?

Twisted Hate by Ana Huang

He hates her…almost as much as he wants her.

Gorgeous, cocky, and fast on his way to becoming a hotshot doctor, Josh Chen has never met a woman he couldn’t charm—except for Jules f**king Ambrose.

The beautiful redhead has been a thorn in his side since they met, but she also consumes his thoughts in a way no woman ever has.

When their animosity explodes into one unforgettable night, he proposes a solution that’ll get her out of his system once and for all: an enemies with benefits arrangement with simple rules.

No jealousy.

No strings attached.

And absolutely no falling in love.

Outgoing and ambitious, Jules Ambrose is a former party girl who’s focused on one thing: passing the attorney’s bar exam.

The last thing she needs is to get involved with a doctor who puts the SUFFER in insufferable…no matter how good-looking he is.

But the more she gets to know him, the more she realizes there’s more than meets the eye to the man she’s hated for so long.

Her best friend’s brother.

Her nemesis.

And her only salvation.

Theirs is a match made in hell, and when the demons from their past catch up with them, they’re faced with truths that could either save them …or destroy everything they’ve worked for.

Twisted Hate is a steamy enemies with benefits/enemies to lovers romance. It’s book three in the Twisted series but can be read as a standalone.

Abou t The Fine Print by Lauren Asher

A typical billionaire romance that is quite popular. It’s one of the more famous ones of the genre, especially on Kindle Unlimited.

Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood

Bee Königswasser lives by a simple code: What would Marie Curie do? If NASA offered her the lead on a neuroengineering project – a literal dream come true – Marie would accept without hesitation. Duh. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward.

Sure, Levi is attractive in a tall, dark, and piercing-eyes kind of way. But Levi made his feelings toward Bee very clear in grad school – archenemies work best employed in their own galaxies far, far away.

But when her equipment starts to go missing and the staff ignore her, Bee could swear she sees Levi softening into an ally, backing her plays, seconding her ideas… devouring her with those eyes. The possibilities have all her neurons firing.

But when it comes time to actually make a move and put her heart on the line, there’s only one question that matters: What will Bee Königswasser do?

It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey

Piper Bellinger is fashionable, influential, and her reputation as a wild child means the paparazzi are constantly on her heels. When too much champagne and an out-of-control rooftop party lands Piper in the slammer, her stepfather decides enough is enough. So he cuts her off, and sends Piper and her sister to learn some responsibility running their late father’s dive bar… in Washington.

Piper hasn’t even been in Westport for five minutes when she meets big, bearded sea captain Brendan, who thinks she won’t last a week outside of Beverly Hills. So what if Piper can’t do math, and the idea of sleeping in a shabby apartment with bunk beds gives her hives. How bad could it really be? She’s determined to show her stepfather—and the hot, grumpy local—that she’s more than a pretty face.

Except it’s a small town and everywhere she turns, she bumps into Brendan. The fun-loving socialite and the gruff fisherman are polar opposites, but there’s an undeniable attraction simmering between them. Piper doesn’t want any distractions, especially feelings for a man who sails off into the sunset for weeks at a time.

Yet as she reconnects with her past and begins to feel at home in Westport, Piper starts to wonder if the cold, glamorous life she knew is what she truly wants. LA is calling her name, but Brendan—and this town full of memories—may have already caught her heart. 

Romance between a sunshine fashionable “it” celebrity girl with grumpy sea sailor local. Bright cheerful icon x cold ordinary sailor combo meal.

Protagonisté jsou skvělí, na první dobrou se od sebe nemohou více lišit, ale jak je postupně poznáváte, tak zjišťujete, že jsou oba opravdu skvělé osobnosti a snadno k oběma přilnete. Palec nahoru si vyslouží i vykreslení vedlejších postav, které je skutečně propracované. Autorka si dává záležet, aby všechny charaktery, které do děje zasahují, ho také ve větší či menší míře ovlivnili, takže si můžete být jistí, že žádná postava není jen do počtu. Celá recenze

Tuto knihu jsem si zamilovala hned. Studuji chemii a tato kniha s romantickou linkou v chemickém prostředí mi dodala naději, že vše je možné ❤️

Senzace TIK TOKU, ano i na mě tohle zafungovalo. Naprosto chápu, proč je tento příběh tak oblíbený! Ne nadarmo je na Goodreads tento titul hodnocen 4,23 a za mě určitě zaslouženě. Na to, že teď poslední dobou romantiku vůbec nečtu, jsem moc ráda, že jsem měla možnost si Hypotézu lásky přečíst a ještě s předstihem než u nás vyjde. Nebudu lhát, že jsem čekala velkou pecku a musím přiznat, že to je za poslední dobou nejlepší romance pro mladé jakou jsem kdy četla. Bylo to chytré, vtipné a od první stránky kouzelné. Postavy Olive a Adama nejde nemilovat – prostě úžasňákovi. Prostředí školy a vědy bylo originální, inteligentní a spousty dalších pozitivních slov :-) Podle mě příběhu nechybělo vůbec nic! Najdete tam i negativního hrdinu, kterého vyváží hodně romantiky a trochu sexu. :-) Kdy posléze i vědci zjistí, že vlastně sex není žádná věda :-) Prostě ta chemie tam fungovala a basta :-) Od Ali Hazelwood si určitě ještě někdy něco přečtu. A Vám bych přála taky tak parádní zážitek ze čtení, který jsem u knihy měla já :-) Pokud se k Vám kniha dostane, neváhejte a pusťte se do ní!

Ach.. krásný příběh, taková pohádka pro dospělé četlo se to krásně, až mi bylo líto, že jsem to tak rychle přečetla, a musela jsem nějaký kapitoly projet znovu, protože… loučit se s Adamem a Olive se mi vůbec nechtělo.

4 z 5 hvězdiček Sandra Valenčíková registrovaný uživatel 8. prosince 2023

Příběh nebyl vůbec špatný, ale ten styl psaní mi osobně nesedl, četla jsem to strašně pomalu mi přišlo. Adam byl úžasný, za to Olive mi připadala taková najivní, ale v některých případech jsem ji i chápala, proč to tak dělala. Každopádně jsem ráda, že to dopadlo, jak to dopadlo a určitě si přečtu i druhý díl, který nedávno vyšel ☺️

Jedná se o romantickou komedii zasazenou do univerzitního prostředí. Píše se o ní jako o světovém bestselleru a senzaci TikToku. Mé očekávání však naplnila pouze z části. Zapletka doktorantky Olive (26) a profesora Carlsen (34) je zajímavá, místy vtipná, občas jsem však měla pocit, že tyto postavy jsou ve věku YA. Některé výrazy a chování bych zde nečekala. Styl, jakým je kniha napsaná mi moc neseděl, místy jsem se nedokázala začíst. Konec překvapil.

3 z 5 hvězdiček Veronika Enochová registrovaný uživatel 26. srpna 2023

První věta anotace slibuje "romantickou komedii, která zbořila sociální sítě". Čekala jsem nějakou super pecku, u které se pobavím a ze které si sednu na zadek, ale mrzí mě, že toho jsem se nedočkala. Akademické prostředí mě rozhodně nalákalo, miluju seriál Teorie velkého třesku, a tak jsem se na ty geniální, ale trochu zvláštní figurky vyloženě těšila. Za to dávám jednoznačně plusové body, prostředí bylo zajímavé a originální. Co mě ale hodně zklamalo byl fakt, že jsem se celou dobu nemohla zbavit dojmu, že čtu YA knížku, protože Olive (26) i Adam (34) se prostě nechovali adekvátně svému věku. Možná, kdyby jim bylo o 10 let méně. Samotný děj mě v první půlce moc nezaujal, naštěstí druhá půlka už byla zábavnější, měla spád a mě nakonec bavilo sledovat, jak se vše vyvine, i když samotný konec samozřejmě nebylo těžké odhadnout. Ještě musím zmínit, že mě vytáčelo, kolikrát byl, obzvlášť v první půlce, někdo označen za ču**ka. A když došlo na postelovou scénu, při číče už jsem se vyloženě osypala.

Ze začátku trochu pomalejší rozjezd, ale moc se mi líbilo zasazení do akademického prostředí. Bonusová kapitola z pohledu hlavní mužské postavy top!

Nechápu kde se bere ten hype. Mě kniha moc nebavila. Četla se krapet hůře kvůli odborným a pro mě nudným názvům. Námět na knihu je skvělý ale kniha mohla být provedená lépe. Ke konci(posledních 90stran?) To bylo už lepší kvůli jedné zápletce takže dávám 3hvězdy😊.
