love, theoretically by ali hazelwood

I'm rereading The Love Hypothesis now, and after reading Ch16 I obviously had to go to Adam's POV in that chapter and that mentions Jack and George from Love, theoretically. Ali Hazelwood is a mastermind.

So I've read three of Ali Hazelwood's novels and realized that there's a pattern in how she wrote the leading man in her stories:

Wears Henley shirts

Acts like an ass but there's a "perfectly reasonable” excuse

Has a huge house/loft/bachelor pad for himself

Family's pretty much non-existent

Has huge hands that are always ready to catch the female lead

Well-built frame and abs that reveal themselves during sexy time

Has a big thing but advises that the female lead can "take it"

Same lines during cheesy and spicy chapters (and techniques 😳)

Willing to give anything (everything he has, celestial bodies, whatever she wants...)

I can practically make a bingo card but then again, no matter how familiar and predictable reading these novels were, they were a nice break to all the sad ones I've read recently.

P.S. Is this possibly a type? 🤭

“I want you to marry me tomorrow so you can go on my health insurance. I want to lock you in my room for a couple of weeks. I want to buy groceries based on what you like. I want to play it cool, like I'm attracted to you and not obsessed out of my mind, but that's not where I'm at. Not at all.”

Elsie and Jack from Love, Theoretically

love, theoretically by Ali Hazelwood raised my standards in men a little too much, cause if he doesn’t talk about me the same way Jack talks about Elsie, I don’t want it.

It is so surreal to me that I got to me THE Ali Hazelwood while she was on her US book tour for “Love, Theoretically” and y’all, she is just the sweetest human being!!! She gave me a friendship bracelet 😭 and during the signing, I had the chance to give her this Aliverse sweatshirt my sister and I made. 

Her books mean the absolute world to me because I feel more connected to my sister, who is studying neuroscience, through them. Ali writes in a way that makes the world of STEM easier for me to understand and for that, I will be forever grateful. 

I absolutely LOVED “Love, Theoretically,” so make sure to watch this space for my review later this week 👀 It might just be my favorite Ali Hazelwood book yet! What is your favorite book from the Aliverse?

“In my fantasies, you allow me to keep an eye on you.” I feel his lips at my temple. “And when I really let go, I imagine that you let me take care of you, too.” It does sound outlandish. “Why?” “Because in my head, no one has done it before.” - Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood

while i do appreciate the politics in academia that love theoretically throws light on as a poc woman in stem i do believe that the tropes are getting a little too repetitive for my liking. i liked the love hypothesis and love on the brain. i even have the paperbacks for both of them. but love theoretically just didn't hit the spot for me. i am getting tired of the repetitive enemies to lovers misunderstanding and miscommunication trope that hazelwood includes in all her books. i feel like there is so much that can be done with a female lead in stem that highlights how xenophobic, sexist and misogynistic academia can be without reusing the same trope over and over again.

i am not saying the book was bad, i just feel like her plots are stagnant and getting repetitive. there's nothing new to expect and honestly that breaks my heart a little bit. because i love the women in stem representation. we have been ostracized by the society in every way possible and i was really happy to find an author who would finally write from our perspective. but it's just not doing it for me anymore :/

Jack Smith-Turner’s nickname for Elsie is “my love” or “my dear” and literally none of y’all can convince me otherwise

just imagine Jack starting to call Elsie his wife even though she's still just his fiancee, just because he can't wait any longer
