The Love Hypothesis

The less I say about this book, the better, I think.

Some spoilers, possibly, but I wish I'd known these things going in.

I didn't expect to love Love Hypothesis, but I didn't expect to dislike parts of it either. I disliked parts of it. I didn't believe the Adam Carlsen who was so horrible to his students (His parents were diplomats! He had had a cruel mentor and then he became one?!) I didn't see that the kissing strategy Olive employed in the opening chapter would be justified or even work. Sitting on Adam's lap? Really? At a scientific meeting? Tom's shift in personality? And making Adam a buff athletic superman scientist? Too much. But the real topper for me was the porn scene in the book. Did I want that bedroom door opened? No, I did not.

These are all just my very own opinions, and you may think about things completely different from me. But...very disappointing. Adam Carlsen believed in being honest with students who weren't cutting it, saying there are too many bad scientists out there already. Well, I believe the same way about authors.
