Hello Readers,
I first discovered Laura Steven’s work back in 2017 when
I read The Exact Opposite of Okay, and I’ve been a fan ever since. Revisiting Laura's
books feels like catching up with an old friend, so I recently decided to
reread The Love Hypothesis, and it was just as brilliant the second time
around. In fact, I’m tempted to dive back into The Exact Opposite of Okay again
this year.
This book remains such a fantastic mix of humour, heart,
and thought-provoking themes. Even on a second read, I was
completely drawn back in by its lovable characters, sharp wit, and the deep
emotions woven throughout. It’s just as impactful as I remembered. Laura has a
real gift for creating diverse, relatable characters who feel so genuine, and
at its heart, The Love Hypothesis is about self-discovery and learning to love
yourself.
I was once again struck by how strong the character
development is in this book. Caro, Keiko, and Gabs feel just as fantastic as I
remembered, and their friendship dynamics hit just as hard the second time
around. The book beautifully captures the highs and lows of real-life
friendships the fun moments, the difficult ones, and the way relationships
inevitably change. Laura’s writing is just as sharp, quick-witted, and
engaging as I remembered.
The scientific elements never overwhelming, adding a
unique twist that makes Caro’s perspective on love and attraction even more
compelling. Her struggles with emotions and relationships resonate just as much
on a reread, and I found myself appreciating even more of the subtle details
woven throughout the story.
Beyond its humour and nerdy charm, The Love Hypothesis
continues to impress with its thoughtful handling of important themes like
consent, friendship, family, substance abuse, and sexuality. Laura approaches
these topics with so much care, adding even more depth to an already fantastic
novel.
Rereading The Love Hypothesis only deepened my
appreciation for its humour, heart, and message.
