"You could be my entire world. If you let me."
"I think I will."

So conflicted thoughts.. It's not a bad rating, I did enjoy it but there were things which could have been better.

✔️ Enemies to lovers
✔️ STEM romance
✔️ She is dating his brother (in a way)
✔️ Witty banter
✔️ Slow burn
✔️ Twilight references (lots of them)
✔️ Adam and Olive cameo

Firstly, let me start by saying this one was so much better than Love on the Brain. I hated that one so much. *sigh* Or maybe it's the fact that it's been long since I read The Love Hypothesis that this was enjoyable. Although, there are few similarities to TLH but it's not overbearing.

Like Adam and Olive, and unlike Bee and Levi Elsie and Jack are unique and true to themselves. But if you are looking for them to recreate the same magic as in TLH, you will be disappointed. Cause the two here, are quite forgettable and bland. Elsie, is not a bad FMC, she is quite relatable in some places and such a pushover in others that it gets a bit frustrating. However she stays true to her personality- being a people pleaser. I did like how she was able to be her true self around Jack. Jack is not like Adam and that's simply put. Don't get me wrong, he is nice, kind and respectful but he is also boring. I like that he's paying attention to details, calling Elsie out on her bs, and always so open to her but there's no firepower in him. He's just there.

"I have these elaborate daydreams that Im feeding you a five course meal I hunted, field dressed and prepare all by myself."

Coming to the romance, it was okay-ish. I enjoyed some of their moments together. I LOVED the Twilight references. I enjoyed the first half when Jack was trying to figure Elsie out, especially when she was involved with Greg. But the two had very little heat. It was not angsty. The slow burn was too slow. The spice was not spice, it was just salt and pepper. The fact that the two kept talking and talking and talking and talking and talking while trying to figure out where to put his fingers and dick in..it was too late. Look, I appreciate he wants to be sure she wants it but how many times does she have to repeat herself 😭😭 Also the fact she kept pushing him for sex after knowing how clear he made it that he wants things slow- 🚩🚩 In my opinion, I would prefer that Ali Hazelwood writes a clean romance rather than whatever tf she thinks is smut.

I really loved the Adam and Olive cameo, even for a short while they radiated power, chemistry and all things good. The ending was okay. Doesn't really end big.

Overall, an enjoyable read but quite forgettable. I actually forgot the FMCs name the moment I closed the book so 🤷‍♀️ Am just glad it was better than Love on the Brain.

Pls don't disappoint

Love the cover but I swear if this is the Love Hypothesis 3.0 I'm gonna lose it. I need Ali Hazelwood to prove to me (and the rest of the world) that she's not a one hit wonder 👀
