I just finished Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood and here are my musings!
Imagine being a theoretical physicist and having to be an adjunct professor during the day but because that doesn't cover the bills, being a paid for fake girlfriend from a dating app. She has a unique set of skills where she can read people and instinctively know how to please her clients and those they are hiring her to fool.
Things are chugging along just fine until the brother of her latest client seems to see right through her. Trying to ignore the gnawing feeling in her guts, she is offered to interview for the job of a lifetime.... Until she finds out one of the men interviewing her is none other than Jack Smith, the man who ruined her mentor's career.... And the older brother of her client. He wants his choice to be hired and there is no way he will change his mind.
The more she fights for the job, the more she starts to truly see Jack and he seems to be the one person who actually sees her too and that scares her more than anything.
I am already an Ali Hazelwood fangirl!! Total fangirl so my expectations were super sonic high! I couldn't put it down. I loved the whole premise being based on Elsie trying to win a job against another candidate against a man who is hellbent on stopping her. I have to admit, Jack was really well written and I loved watching it all unfold! Their banter was epic and had me giggling. Hazelwood has this ability to send you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions and leave you begging for more. She has a way of bringing a delicate balance of belly laughs, intellectual educational tidbits, witty conversation, a little heartbreak and some heartwarming moments that will give you a complete experience.
The character building was top notch and really sets this book apart from other rom coms. If you don't fall in love with Jack... what am I saying... of course you will. The best book boyfriends always come with PhDs.
5 stars... all the stars... take my stars..
