Problematic for sure

Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood

May 30, 2025 by NatalieH Leave a Comment

Not in Love is probably my favourite of Ali Hazelwood’s so far, so I wanted to read the follow-up with some of the same characters, Problematic Summer Romance. Set during Eli and Rue’s (from Not in Love) wedding in Italy, Eli’s little sister and his best friend deal with their feelings for each other, despite the wide difference in their age. Like all of Hazelwood’s books that I’ve read so far, it’s well-written, there’s some moments that are genuinely funny, and I liked the side […]

Another female scientist finds her happily ever after

Not in Love by Ali Hazelwood

May 27, 2025 by Sophia 2 Comments

Ali Hazelwood is an automatic read for me now. I always enjoy reading her books, even when the characters drive me crazy. This is because they are likeable and funny–but in order to make the story work, they can be insanely obtuse when it comes to love. Apparently, I was a little obtuse because I only recently realized that Hazelwood had two new books out. I picked up Not in Love (2024) first, which centers around Rue. Rue is a little atypical. She only has a couple of friends, […]

Let’s Get Physical

Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood

April 14, 2025 by Zirza 2 Comments

Elsie is a theoretical physicist, stuck in a dead-end job she hates – teaching ungrateful students who keep emailing her day and night with excuses as to why they can’t meet their deadlines – while barely making ends meet. To get by, she works as a fake girlfriend for a company called Faux: men who are tired of their family members asking them when they’re going to find a girl, or men who need a plus-one for a corporate dinner, hire Elsie for the night. […]

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 […]
