THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS: BOOK REVIEW

 "I wish you could see yourself the way I see you." Book title: The Love Hypothesis Author: Ali Hazelwood Genre: Fiction, Contemporary Romance Overall rating: 4.5/5 As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships - but her best friend does, and that's exactly what got her into this situation. Where do I begin? Get Ali Hazelwood a damn prize because she created two characters who felt so real and who I cared for so quickly. To say I was invested is an understatement. I found Olive to be loveable, sweet, and a woman of integrity. And Dr. Adam Carlsen ... a true king.

ALL THE BRIGHT PLACES: BOOK REVIEW

"The thing I realize is, that it's not what you take, it's what you leave."

 

Book title: All the Bright Places

Author: Jennifer Niven 

Genre: YA Fiction, Romance, Drama

Overall rating: 5/5


"A heart-wrenching love story about a girl who learns to live from a boy who intends to die." This one line pretty much sums up the whole story of the book. 

The story starts when Violet Markey, a popular girl at school, meets Theodore Finch, a freak at school, on ledge of the bell tower of their school from which each was contemplating jumping. One is saved by the other and in the midst of death, they connect. 

They are later grouped together for a school project wherein they are asked to discover the Wanders of Indiana. During their project, they develop a fonding for each other and find brightness in the common forgotten places.

The story covers topics like grief, death and mental illness.

What I liked the most about this story was Violet recovering from her past, overcoming her fears and being ULTRAVIOLET REMARKEYABLE while she was with Finch.


Jennifer Niven has done a great work by narrating the story from both, the male and female perspective.

Adding various lines from Virginia Woolf's novel, The Waves, is what makes this book an absolute masterpiece for me.


The book stays etched in your mind even when you're done reading it.
