Romance novella with a little misunderstanding

Stuck With You by Ali Hazelwood

After reading The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood for book club, I decided I should read some more books by her. I discovered that she has written a trio of romantic novellas involving women in STEM. I picked up Stuck With You (2022) for a quick read. I finished this one night when I was sick and couldn’t stop coughing. It was a nice distraction, but I could have skipped the sickness. Sadie (also the name of our new puppy, which felt a little weird as I was […]

STEMinist take 2

Stuck with You by Ali Hazelwood

I liked this novella a tad more than I liked the prior one in the series, Under One Roof, both of which are well-retooled prior stories. As before, the three main characters (including the one from the next novella) are friends and women in STEM, hence the term STEMinist. Which, to reiterate, I don’t love but I also don’t hate. If I had to clarify why this novella worked for me more than the prior one, I would say that it doesn’t mince words as to […]

STEMinist definitely isn’t my favorite but…

Under One Roof by Ali Hazelwood

Hazelwood continues to do the thing, which is to reframe her popular prior fiction into a series focused on the lives of female STEM students/graduates (jury is still out on the portmanteau “STEMinist.” I do not hate it the way others do, but I do not love it. I think I am torn as to whether it is another Girlboss or a clever form of branding). This is a very short novella, with almost 15% of length nonetheless authors notes and the like. There are […]

Love story in the lab

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

My book club picked The Love Hypothesis (2021) by Ali Hazelwood for our next book. It sounded like a fun romantic comedy, so I was eager to read it. Olive is a biology Ph.D. student at Stanford, working her ass off for very little money but high ideals. In a misguided, desperate attempt to convince her best friend that she’s not interested in Jeremy–a guy she dated a couple of times (she does this because Jeremy and her best friend are perfect for each other and she […]

Not going to lie – I pictured Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley in my head when reading this

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

Olive Smith is a Ph.D. candidate working on her thesis at Stanford and really has neither the time nor the inclination for anything romantic. However, she did briefly date a guy who her best friend is now gaga over, and because Olive needs to convince her BFF, Ahn, that she is well and truly over said guy, she lies and claims she dating someone else. However, since her friend remains skeptical, Olive needs somebody she is supposedly dating, and this is how she ends up […]

My hypothesis was that I would love this and now my conclusion is that I really fucking did.

I was wondering where all my five star reads were in January, and it turns out they were hiding in the first week of February. PhD graduate student Olive spontaneously plants a smooch on notoriously mean and horrible Professor Adam Carlsen in order to convince her best friend that it’s okay for her to date Olive’s ex (don’t worry, he doesn’t supervise her in any way!) and fake dating ensues. That’s really all you need to know, to be honest. Objectively, this is not a […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
