Bride by Ali Hazelwood review

2.5/5

Spice: explicit open door

Trigger warnings: can't really think of any so but I would def check online if you have any triggers

First of all the main characters name is Misery, just sit with that for a minute... like every time they'd have a serious conversation and someone would say "misery, this" or "misery, that" I was just so annoyed because what is that ridiculous name.

Second of all there's literally no plot and it's def not enemies to lovers if that's what you were expecting. Like they never hated each other and were downright pleasant to each other from the start.

There's also barely any plot, like genuinely nothing really happens and there's barely any mystery solving even though her only friend in the world is missing, like in the start and before the events of the book she seemed invested but throughout the whole book absolutely not.

Lastly these people have been feuding for years and it was just ended so easily, like what? Like even in the werewolf kingdom Misery barely deals with any issues and is just in his inner circle. Along with that the whole conflict between the groups barely shows up or plays any role in this book.

✩⚛️🧡Review:

I did not think anything could top “The Love Hypothesis” until I read “Love, Theoretically”!

Theoretical physicist Elsie Hannaway wants nothing more than to land her dream job at MIT so she can leave her adjunct teaching position and fake girlfriend gig behind her. The only problem? Jack Smith—the older brother of her favorite client and the experimental physicist who ruined her mentor’s career—sits on the hiring committee.

I LOVED this book because I personally connected with Elsie like no other Ali Hazelwood heroine before her. One of Elsie’s main inner conflicts in the book is her struggle to show those closest to her who she really is. Instead, she embodies different versions of herself to please others so she doesn’t feel the sting of rejection if something goes wrong. As someone with people pleasing tendencies, I have never felt so understood! 

I also really loved Hazelwood’s incorporation of the fake relationship trope in this book. Having already written about a fake relationship between her FMC and MMC in “The Love Hypothesis,” I appreciated how Hazelwood shakes things up in this novel by having Elsie fake date her love interest’s brother! This was new and exciting for me to read about and also nicely contributed to the tension between Elsie and Jack in the book. 

Elsie and Jack’s romance is absolute perfection in this book! Their progression from rivals to lovers is very natural and I thought it was very clever of Hazelwood to set their rivalry “against the backdrop of academic politics” (as she puts in her author’s note). I was not aware of the feud between theoretical and experimental physicists, so I found “Love, Theoretically” informative as a result.

reacting to Love theoretically: SPOILER 

 Elsie: one of the people visiting is a biologist from Stanford. He is as tall as Jack, an impossibility I thought and they shake hands

Jack: this is Adam
