Love Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood Summary
Love Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood Elsie was a theoretical physicist and she was also a very good scientist, but those financially expressive people used to harass her a lot that she should get married or date someone. Greg, to get rid of all this, hires Elsie as a fake girlfriend. So she and Elsie tell Greg and everyone her fake identity that she is a librarian. So everyone in Greg's family knew that Elsie is a librarian.
And Greg’s brother Jack was very overprotective of his brother, and he used to ask Elsie a lot of questions—where is she from, what does she do—and they ask a lot of questions about Greg. But Elsie is unable to answer anything because she did not know Greg that well since they were fake dating. After hearing all this, Jack starts having doubts, but she does not tell anything.
A day later, someone was going to come to Elsie's office—a very big scientist—and he was going to interview Elsie. His name was Jonathan Smith-Turner, and Elsie did not like him at first. That means Elsie did not like Jonathan Smith-Turner because he was an experimental physicist and had written an article about theoretical physicists saying that they should not be given so much importance. After this, Elsie did not like him. So when that man came—Jonathan Smith-Turner—Elsie was stunned to see him.
She was shocked because he was none other than Greg's brother Jack. His name was Jonathan Smith-Turner. Elsie didn't know this, so she gets very scared. Jack also comes to know that Elsie is a scientist. He keeps asking Elsie a lot of questions and also teases her a lot—but not in a negative way. Jack meets Elsie as if he is meeting her for the first time. Elsie becomes very uncomfortable with all this and starts hating Jack even more.
But Jack gets very impressed with Elsie's work, her notes, her research—because she was a very next-level scientist. She was interviewed, everything happened, and Elsie wanted to tell everything—that she is fake dating Greg and why she is fake dating Greg. She wanted to tell all this, but Elsie felt that if she tells Greg is fake dating her and why, then it's his secret. So she should tell everything to Greg only. She kept quiet. She did not say anything.
On the same day, Elsie gets a call on her phone that Greg has taken drugs and she should come to take him. Jack also received the same call. They go to take Greg but neither of them knew that both were coming. They take Greg from there to Jack's house.
On the way, Greg tells some things to Jack and Jack gets to know some things from him. Greg also tells Elsie that Jack used to ask about Elsie and used to ask a lot of things about her. Jack used to look at Elsie as if he liked her. Hearing all this, they get embarrassed and also get to know a lot of things.
Jack was very handsome, and Elsie actually had a crush on Jack, but she never said anything like that. When they reach home, they somehow put Greg to sleep—that is, Elsie and Jack. Then Jack asks her what is the matter—why are you doing a fake date and all. Then Elsie tells him that she is asexual and because of this, her past relationships were not so successful. Jack and Greg get very tensed about this, but then they talk a lot about work.
They decide that whenever they meet each other, whenever they talk, they will maintain honesty—that is, whatever happens, be it good or bad, they will tell the truth to each other. This is how their relationship starts and they slowly become very close to each other.
Then they keep on meeting and start liking each other more and more. Jack takes Elsie to his grandmother's place, and from his grandmother, Elsie comes to know a lot about what Jack was like.
Greg is his stepbrother, and Jack’s mother was also a theorist and very good. She died in his childhood. Elsie hears all this and feels very sad for Jack. They start getting even closer. One day, Elsie gets a job offer. It was a very good position after post-doctorate—for some experiment.
Elsie was not accepting that offer. Jack actually gave the same offer to her, and Elsie directly rejected it. Then another colleague of Jack offers her the same job. She thinks about it and tells them that she will first talk to her mentor and then take a decision.
Jack knew her mentor very well. He knew her mother very well. That same woman was a mentor to his mother. But after Jack was born, she disconnected his mother from research—that is, kicked her out of the group.
That man was actually not good. He only thought about his own benefits and did not let anyone rise above him. He did not want anyone else to achieve success. But Elsie did not know all this. When Jack tells her all this, she gets very angry with Jack. She fights with him and leaves.
Later, Elsie starts feeling that maybe Jack was not lying. So to test him, she goes to that mentor and tells him about the job offer. The man clearly refuses her to accept that job. Then Elsie asks him about Jack and Jack's mother.
The man directly denies everything and starts talking very badly to Elsie. Then Elsie understands what kind of man he was and also comes to know that she had been offered many jobs earlier too, but that man had rejected all of them on his own without telling her.
Elsie gets even angrier and goes to Jack and says sorry. She first accepts the job that was offered to her, and then goes to Jack and says sorry. Jack also tells her there is no need to say sorry—he was just giving her some time. So yes, that was it. They clear all misunderstandings and get together. Then Elsie gets very busy with her job, and this story ends here.
So this was Love Theoretically. I actually like Ali Hazelwood's books a lot. There is a lot of soft romance in them. And yes, this book is enemies-to-lovers. There's fake dating and romance in it—not too much, but it's very cute.
It’s a sweet story. And yes, in this book, the hero and heroine from The Love Hypothesis, Olive and Adam, are also present—only for a short while, but they are. This was it. The book is good, the story is also good, but yes, there is a lot of scientific stuff in it. A lot of science has been discussed.
