Tag: The Love Hypothesis

Back in February I picked 5 romance books that are high on my TBR that I wanted to try to prioritize and I’ve actually finished them all which I am stoked about! They definitely weren’t all wins but I am glad I stuck to it and completed my list.

Happy Place by Emily Henry – Overall this was ok. I just couldn’t get over the fact that if these two would of communicated when they were going through their rough patch in San Francisco then all of the drama wouldn’t of happened. Both of them didn’t want to burden the other and they just kept kept this false sense of happiness to keep the status quo. There was definitely some cute and semi-steamy moments, but I don’t think second chance romances are for me. ⭐️2/5 stars

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood – I really like this, I thought the premise was fun and the stakes weren’t too high. I wanted Olive to have a little more confidence in herself and stand up for herself a bit more. I liked the banter between out two main protagonists and learning about Adam more thoroughly and finding out there’s more to him than meets the eye was very cute. ⭐️4/5 stars

Honey & Spice by Bolu Babalola – This was amazing! I loved all of the characters, they each felt unique and distinct and had a purpose within the plot. There was a lot of social commentary and the plot as a whole felt realistic and wasn’t forced. I loved Kiki’s attitude and the way that Malakai wormed his way into her heart was so endearing and gave me all the feels! ⭐️5/5 stars

Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute by Talia Hibbert – just like the title I found this to be incredibly cute! These two teens actually communicated to each other instead of assuming what the other is feeling and there was more to the story than just their romance! Probably not going to be picking up any more YA romance but this I definitely wasn’t disappointed this give me all the warm fuzzy feels. ⭐️4/5 stars

The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang – unfortunately this was a very forgettable read! I didn’t really enjoy our main protagonist as much as the other female leads in this series. She let her family walk all over her and didn’t stand by her boundaries leading to this stagnant nature of the book that dragged all of the conflict out unnecessarily in my opinion. ⭐️2/5 stars

Back in February I picked 5 romance books that are high on my TBR that I wanted to try to prioritize and actually read! And so far this year I’ve read three of the five so I figured this was a good chance to do a little recap of the five and give my thoughts on the ones I’ve completed so far.
