That Scene

I read The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood years ago, and I was obsessed with it. So when I heard the movie was coming, I was really looking forward to watching it.

I have seen it now, and of course, there were differences, as usual with book adaptations.

But there was one scene I was actually looking forward to.

That scene where the seats are full and Adam has to carry Olive on his thigh.

And the funny thing is, I didn’t go looking for what was going to be in the movie and what wasn’t going to be in it. I wanted it to just unveil itself to me while I watched.

So I was watching, waiting…

And when I realised that scene wasn’t going to happen?

Heartbreaking.

Honestly, heartbreaking.

It’s funny how you can read a book years ago and still remember these little moments. Not necessarily the biggest scenes, but those little things that stuck with you.

I really wanted to see that one.

And it wasn’t there.

Chapter 6.

My current high

I love a really good romcom so I will start with this; I learned that a film adaptation of this book is being developed… The casting has got to be right for it to be good. Adam has got to be Adam.

That being said…

…I didn’t jump at the book. I didn’t know if I would actually like it.

Somehow, thanks to AI conspiracy, it kept popping up on all my platforms, so I decided to give it a go.

I loved it.

The Love Hypothesis is just the kind of thing for me…

From the witty conversations to secrets waiting to be told and then unto to the “bad guy” with a good heart and a great sense of humor… Adam.

Now, Adam…that was some character. He was all geeky and standoffish but come chapter sixteen and boom…he was something else I never expected…Unbelievable. I couldn’t reconcile the scientist with the lover. Naaaah.

If Romcoms are your thing and you are looking for a quick read, I would recommend The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood.
