FAQs

Is The Love Hypothesis a spicy book? ›

This was a bit of a slow burn, but that made the payoff that much stronger. I've seen The Love Hypothesis proclaimed as spicy, which it is, but it's in no way smutty. There's really only one (admittedly extensive) sex scene in this book. But that scene was absolute fire.

Love on the Brain (Love Hypothesis, book 2) by Ali Hazelwood.

Amazing book, 14+ if childs is mature

The sex scene isn't as graphic as you would expect but you can skip it if you want.

It's rated as New Adult so its for 18 to 25yo, but I think its ok for... like, 15 and up? I'm 15 and really liked it but it is pretty smuty.

Levi has been in love with Bee for years but has accidentally disguised that love as hate. She is convinced that he hates her, therefore she also hates him and he struggles to convince her otherwise!

The Love Hypothesis pairs a 26 year-old grad student/researcher with a 34 year-old faculty member/researcher in a fake dating relationship for the ages. I flipping loved this book.

Teen love is definitely real, even though many adults are quick to dismiss it. You can totally make young love last if you build a healthy relationship and act maturely. We're here to help you listen to your heart if it says you've fallen hard for someone.

Can a 14 year old have true love? ›

There's no specific age when true love starts. Love is a complex emotion that can happen at different times in life for different people. True love may be more about emotional maturity and life experience than a specific age.

The book deals with heavy subject matter, including abuse and its psychological effects, which may not be suitable for younger readers. Therefore, it's typically recommended for readers aged 17 and above, or for those who are mature enough to handle the content sensitively.

but if you want a age rating id say a mature 12 year old could handle it but 14+ sound fine.

Asexual representation- the protagonist, Olive, is most likely demisexual although this word is not used directly when she describes her sexuality (but an almost textbook definition is used).

Chapter 16 Summary

Adam rips his shirt off and pulls Olive to him, kissing her and running his hands over her body. The touches spark a range of sensations Olive's never felt before, making her squirm. Adam tries to slide one finger inside her, but her tightness makes it difficult.

Workplace sexual harassment of the main character (NOT from Adam, the love interest) Power differential (Olive is a student and Adam is a professor; they clear out their fake relationship with the Dean early in the story and no abuse of power occurs) Explicit and graphic sexual content. Cursing and vulgar language.

Finding an author that depicts young women as strong, intelligent characters is tough. The book, The Love Hypothesis checks all of my boxes: great characters, a little spice, and a happy ending. This is a perfect choice if you want a quick, easy read that doesn't leave you guessing.

I will say that the romances are a bit spicy, so if you're not into that, then Emily Henry may not be for you.
