The Love Experiment

Thank you Netgalley, Harper Collins and One more chapter for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

This book follows the story of Lily, a psychologist and well known from her podcast Love Doctor, and Jay, who works in the community to create safe spaces for woman and has a sister in a toxic relationship. As Lily is all for one-night stands and Jay is looking for a long-term commitment, will they be able to work with their attraction and find a common ground?

What I liked:
- LGBTQIA+ representation.
- Female character with polycystic ovarian syndrome. I think it is very important to include characters with PCOS, endometriosis and other similar disorders. It is important to normalize that periods are not supposed to be painful, and that several conditions, of which some are very difficult to diagnose, may be causing that pain. Please bear that in mind and share the knowledge with friends you know suffer with pain and have not been diagnosed.
- Inclusion of fertility problems
- Inclusion of a toxic relationship.

What I think could have been done better:
- Including the name of the POV on each chapter. I hope this would be fixed in the final version of the book
- The book was written in a way that explained to the reader everything that was happening, every thought that the characters were experiencing, leaving no room for readers to use their brain.
- I hated the way the excess weight issues were addressed as they felt a bit fat-shaming.

Unfortunately, the story and writing didn't work for me. I wanted to like this book as it covers many important topics I would like to see discussed more frequently.
However, I couldn't like Lily neither get invested in her story. I found her very futile and absolutely and unhealthy obsessed with her physical image. I would hate establishing Lily as a role model for anything really, she needs therapy.
