Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood
3.5
As usual, Ms. Hazelwood lays it on a little thick, but her books are fast paced and enjoyable to read, like slightly-too-buttery move theatre popcorn. As a woman with type 1 diabetes, I did have a huge problem with that representation and I wish the author had done more research because it was pretty clear the research she did do was partial and on a whim. It seemed more like a plot device to make us feel sympathetic for Elsie, despite her being a grown woman and diabetic for ~15 years. I also did not like how Elsie pressured Jack during the intimate scenes. Overall very similar to her first two, not terrible, but if you’ve read The Love Hypothesis and Love on the Brain you’ve pretty much read this, too.
