The Love Hypothesis
by Ali Hazelwood, published on September 7, 2022 by Éditions Hauteville.
His favorite quote:
HYPOTHESIS: If I fall in love, things will inevitably end badly.
Why this book?
Because this novel quickly became a phenomenon
when it was released last year.
THE phenomenon itself!
Impossible to go on a social network without seeing its colorful cover and the rave reviews from English-speaking readers.
Here it is now translated into French to the delight of French readers eager to discover this story.
Because this novel is a real candy!
It's a cute romantic comedy featuring endearing characters and whose pages you turn with a huge smile on your face.
If you're looking for a light and easy-going story, this novel is for you.
Because the story takes place in the laboratories
of a famous American university: Stanford.
And who says lab, says student researchers and professors.
A universe well known to the author who presents it to us without fuss and above all without clichés.
It's pleasant and fluid and if the romance prevails, discovering the university labs is pleasant.
Because Ali Hazelwood has an incredible pen!
Funny, fluid and above all addictive.
Difficult to let go of the story of Olive and Adam before knowing the end of it.
Moreover, the two heroes have multiple facets and are complementary to each other.
It is a real evidence this link between them.
Olive and her panicked fear of a relationship upsets while Adam hides his game well in certain situations.
Two very cerebral characters but who make you dream despite everything.
I want more!
