While I love the fact that Adam gets overprotective of Olive after hearing the recording and threatens to kill Tom, wouldn't Adam get in trouble as well not just Tom? I don't think nearly killing a man in front of Harvard professors would look good on you. In a perfect world, maybe Adam could get away with it but not IRL...
These are so cute I can't 🥹🥹🥹
I've never been a romance reader. I always found romance books to be too unrealistic and that's why I preferred science and history books because facts are facts. But I don't know how or why, but Ali Hazelwood's romance stories captured love in a way that I could have never comprehended a romance book could have. Are most plot points unrealistic? Yeah, no doubt but that's why it's fiction. And Ali I think brings a different sort of angle and energy to love which makes me love it. Anyway, excited for The Love Hypothesis movie! Which couples do you want to see on screen or can't wait to see on screen?
After watching this clip, I noticed that Lili says that they were doing the sushi scene during the chemistry read and mentions that Adam explains his backstory to Olive. I think the film wants to show that Adam trusts Olive enough for him to open up to her without having Holden tell everything to Olive (early viewers can correct me) but that's my two cents.
Whether The Love Hypothesis movie will great or not, I will watch it. I will be happy that women in STEM can be seen as romantic leads and not stereotypes or egg heads with no life (like me). I will be extremely happy to see Olive and Adam on screen because they inspired me to write fanfiction again which has helped me plan an idea for my next novel. I will be watching with my lab coat on and a pumpkin spiced latte in hand.
I can't wait.
Osmium's initials are Os. Olive's initials are OS.
Actinium's initials are Ac. Adam's initials are AC.
Dumb thing to connect but I am a chemist.
If I had a nickel for every time I liked a broody, misunderstood man named Adam who softens up due to the love interest who is opposite of him AND has.a best friend who puts up with his grumpiness with humor, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice.

From the material I have seen, Tom Benton has not made an appearance yet. Has he and I have missed it?
I find myself either extremely nitpicky or relaxed depending on the film. While I prefer historical accuracy, I know it's not always possible. What are your thoughts?
What musical theatre song fits your favorite Ali character? I've been listening to theatre songs and I don't know why but "All I Ask of You" from Phantom of the Opera fits (imo) Elsie and Jack.
Whether you like movie poster covers or not, I'm getting this one for sure 😊
As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships - but her best friend does, and that's what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive is dating and well on her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees.
That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor - and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford's reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive's career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support and even more unyielding...six-pack abs.
Suddenly their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.
My landlord messaged me today: "May I also remind you that your studio must be vacated one week before the end date of your rental contract (24/8/2026)." Is that normal? I've never heard of this
I'm not sure if this is a common question but do landlords usually give your apartment security deposit after your lease ends? In the US some landlords will not give you your security deposit back for even the littlest things (like there is still dust in the corner of the room).
I've been contemplating whether to read Deep End or PSM next. Looks like the book gods gave me my answer! $9
I just wanted to share a book I wrote, not advertising just wanted to share my love for Belgium and Belgian history. In America we learned about the invasion of Belgium in 1914 but had no idea about the refugees that left Belgium. Since living in Belgium, I have learned so much that I wrote a historical fiction where one of the two main characters is from Leuven (my favorite Belgian city btw) who seeks refugee in Normandy, France. Is there any part of Belgian history you find interesting?
So you’ve seen my boobs?’ Lili wryly asks, referencing (spoiler!) a sex scene that happens when Olive and Adam [played by Tom Bateman] finally get intimate for the first time. ‘It was a discussion between me and Clare [Scanlon, the movie’s director], like, “We want it to be a bit of a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it sort of nip slip, rather than full frontal,”’ she explains. ‘It was my first time signing a true nudity rider, where you specify exactly what the camera is allowed to see. It was kind of exciting. I’ve never been afraid of nudity. It was really important for the fans of the book to get a juicy sex scene.’
The sequence is most definitely sexy, with a heavy emphasis placed on the female gaze. However, unlike the book, which dedicates two whole chapters (and many explicit descriptions) to the intimate moment, the on-screen version is decidedly shorter. ‘It could have gone a little harder, but, to be honest, I think anything more than what it is wouldn’t have fit with the rest of the film. No movie was ever going to do a 10-minute-long sex scene.’
I just had some fun with this concept. If I like the cover of the book -movie pairing I might get it.
