Fuck you and your whole “it’s not really enemies-to-lovers if he’s loved her the whole time”. Boy obsessed is an incredible trope and I will not accept this slander.

probably the saddest feeling i have ever experienced is knowing that i will likely never find a man like the ones i read about in my books. not because i don’t deserve it but because those men don’t exist.

Coming out of hibernation just to say that Love, Theoretically was a good book. No, a great book. I like Ali Hazelwood's formula, I like her characters, I LOVE that she writes about women in STEM and uses her books to advocate for fairer practices in academia.
Modern romances are almost all written with the same general structure. I read a lot of them (and write some), and while some tell a really good story and create memorable characters, the majority are generic cookie cutter stories that I forget about as soon as I close the book.
Most romance characters are archetypes. Most plotlines are derivative. There is always miscommunication. Popular tropes are popular for a reason.
Ali's specific version of this genre has tall grumpy men who are misunderstood. It has academic collaborations that force proximity. It has quirky women trying to figure out how to human while unpacking trauma, fighting mysogeny, and dealing with inconvenient feelings they don't know how to navigate for men they don't realize are their biggest advocates. Then they have a happy ending where everyone gets what they deserve and progress has been made in the STEM world.
This is Ali's universe. I loved it the first time, I loved it the second time, I enjoyed it in her novellas, and to no one's surprise - I loved it this time. If she keeps creating complex characters that I can actually care about and root for (something many romances fail to do) then I will keep reading. Hell, if every single man in her books continued to be an Adam Driver clone I would never tire of it, because a well written romance is a well written romance.
If you do not enjoy Ali's formula, why are you still reading her books? Just stop. We all like different styles, tropes, character types, etc. and I'm not judging anyone for not enjoying her writing. But it feels to me like the big complaint is that she has written a romance... And it's familiar... And we'll, duh. So few romances stand out to me, I feel this way about most romance authors. It's all the same in some way or another. But Ali's writing speaks to me, her stories move me, her characters feel familiar and comfortable in a way I rarely find in other books, and in a world where 1000's of romances are published every year, I feel like we can all find our own version of that without shitting on a talented author who writes books that a lot of people love.
We all have the option to DNF and move on with our lives if something isn't our preference. Let people like things. That's all I wanted to say.
Thanks, Ali. Love, Theoretically was sublime.

I love ali hazelwood but her books should be placed in the fantasy genre, not the romance genre…..coz a good looking hot dude in STEM who’s also not a misogynist OR a complete total asshole, is respectful af AND calls out misogyny from his colleagues…..is a fantasy alright. A great fantasy, but fantasy nonetheless.
