The Science of Love

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood

Not in Love by Ali Hazelwood

March 30, 2025 by NatalieH Leave a Comment

When reviewing Ali Hazelwood’s latest novel, Deep End, earlier this month, I expressed an interest in reading some of her other work and got a few recommendations. I’ve since picked up The Love Hypothesis, Love, Theoretically, Not in Love, and Love on the Brain. The Love Hypothesis is about Olive, a biology grad student, and Adam, a professor (but not her professor). Olive briefly dates a boy who she isn’t very interested in (I think his name was Jeremy, but I honestly can’t remember, let’s […]

Closest thing I’ve found to a literal Cannonball Read

Deep End by Ali Hazelwood

March 15, 2025 by NatalieH 6 Comments

I think I’ve mentioned before in some of my reviews that contemporary romance isn’t really a genre I read very much of (although I have read a few in the past couple of years that I’ve really enjoyed). I’ve been wanting to branch out into it more, and I liked Ali Hazelwood’s vampire-werewolf paranormal romance Bride when I read it last year, so I recently picked up her latest release, Deep End. The main character in Deep End is Scarlett Vandermeer (“Vandy” to her friends), […]

“I can be brave. I can be anything for noodles.”

Deep End by Ali Hazelwood

March 2, 2025 by Malin 2 Comments

4.5 stars Buzzword Title Challenge 25: Water words Scarlett Vandermeer is struggling, both with her academic subjects at Stanford and her diving. While physically fully recovered from a bad accident a year ago, Scarlett has a block that prevents her from even attempting the type of dive that had her hospitalised and having to go through several surgeries to fix her broken body. She needs to get her grades up if she wants to get into med school, and she has reluctantly agreed to go […]

Jumping on the bandwagon

Bride by Ali Hazelwood

January 2, 2025 by Jen K 3 Comments

This was my first Ali Hazelwood. I had heard her first few novels were basically Kylo-Ren fanfic and had very little interest in that but figured maybe this would be different enough to be a good entry point. Overall, I did enjoy it and think it was a fun read even if I have oh so many nitpicks. Misery was, for the most part, an enjoyable and likable character, and generally smart even while being completely oblivious and clueless about other things. I think the […]

Teenagers, chess, and romance

Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood

December 6, 2024 by Sophia Leave a Comment

I’ve read a number of women-in-science, love stories by Ali Hazelwood, but this is the first young adult, romance I’ve read by her. This one is about chess. Mallory Greenleaf loved chess; in fact, she was obsessed with it. And she was very good at it. Trained by her father, she was working her way up the ranks even as a young teenager. But then she saw her dad kiss another woman. It tore their family apart. Mallory blamed herself and quit playing chess. Mallory’s […]

Isn’t There a White Knight Upon a Fiery Steed?

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

Love Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood

Not in Love by Ali Hazelwood

Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood

December 5, 2024 by Mrs. Julien 5 Comments

Alternate Titles: Obtuse Women and the Men Who Love Them Tall, Professional Man Owns His Own Home What Makes Us Vulnerable Makes Us Human This contemporary romance review started with just The Love Hypothesis and morphed into an amalgamated Ali Hazelwood catchall. I didn’t combine them just because it’s quicker, but because I really struggled with conveying my feelings about The Love Hypothesis. Then I had had a bit of breakthrough while re-reading it Love Theoretically and Not in Love for Cannonball Read honesty purposes, then I […]
