This week Katie is exploring all of Ali's forays into romance territory. Her most recent book, Deep End, seems to bridge the gap between the spicier side of romance (Not in Love) and her traditional rom-coms like Love, Theoretically and The Love Hypothesis. Deep End explores BDSM themes, power dynamics, and a peculiar type of love triangle.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/212808709-deep-end?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=2c5NZIKHfr&rank=1Want more of Jordan, Katie, and Not Another Heroine?

Type A heroine, flipped gender roles, fake dating. Can you tell it's Katie's pick this week? This was a surprisingly good, clean romance. Katie consumed it via audiobook but believes it can stand alone in either format. Whether you're an avid contemporary romance consumer or you're interested in dabbling in the genre, this is a perfect little cream puff of a book.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58724801-the-bodyguard?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=8I6R9pmgIQ&rank=1Other books mentioned in this episode: The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwoodhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56732449-the-love-hypothesis?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=szAk2MTyyt&rank=1The Graham Effect by Elle Kennedyhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/123255391-the-graham-effect?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_17Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love by isthisselfcarehttps://archiveofourown.org/works/34500952/chapters/85870804

In this episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli dive into the world of fan-made book trailers on YouTube, reacting to creative takes on some of these books they have reviewed before. From swoon-worthy moments in The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood to the dark, edgy vibes of Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton, and to the epic fantasy feel of Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. They discussed the dramatic twists of Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard, and whether or not Powerless by Lauren Roberts was similar. Another book trailer was Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi, Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover, Icebreaker by Hannah Grace, and the magical mischief of The Cruel Prince by Holly Black. Tune in for their candid reactions and which trailers they think deserve more recognition!

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Love Hypothesis: "Let me have this." Surprise! It's a romance in the middle of November on ACOFAE! Are you surprised? Jessica Marie sure was when Laura Marie pitched this book to her. Keeping with the theme of finding a bit of joy, ACOFAE is covering The Love Hypothesis for reasons. One of which being, Laura Marie loves Adam Driver. ACOFAE loves fan fiction and when those two are put together and then reworked and published, you have ACOFAE'S attention. There are other reasons discussed, that include meeting Adam Driver, worry not. Olive is a potential grad student when she meets (but doesn't meet) the man that inspires her to continue her journey in Science. Dr. Carlsen fell first and ACOFAE loves that. An academic romance that's serious when it needs to be, The Love Hypothesis made Laura Marie kick her feet and giggle - love that for her. He's built like a refrigerator.

Tune in as Arthur's friend Anna (@formergleek) rejoins 2CC for a breakdown of The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood, the 2021 rom-com book whose fake-dating and grumpy/sunshine shenanigans are based off a Reylo fanfic that Hazelwood had written on AO3. Comparisons between the fanfic and the book, Hazelwood's apparent lack of geographical knowledge, the frustrating stab that this romance tries to take at asexual representation, and the many mentions of Adam's notorious size comprise just a few of the talking points for this episode.

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.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: MST 3000: "It's not so serious all the time." Let's set the scene: You're two weeks into a book-hangover. You're DNF-ing everything and AO3 isn't getting you where you need to be. What is a reader to do?! Where do you go?! Sometimes taking a step back and changing up the format can do wonders. Enter MST 3000. Enter Spaceballs. Exit the funk that has kept the slump alive. Parody and Satire can keep you in the genre you want to be, the headspace you want to be, but allow you to laugh at yourself, at the content, and at the world in general. Join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they reset and have a good laugh. Everything doesn't have to be the be all end all ALL the time. Sometimes you just need to laugh until you cry and then cry until you laugh again.

Katie and Jordan do something a little different in this week's pick: a (pretty long) discussion on fanfiction. You may have heard of some recent author's having new works published that started off as fanfics, like The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood, or more recently, The Hurricane Wars by Thea Guanzon. Well, Katie and Jordan have some thoughts - and a recommendation if you're looking for something good to read (for free!!) this holiday season: The Politician's Wife by pir8fancier (who has a traditionally published author alter ego!)https://archiveofourown.org/works/90292

CRY, THE BELOVED COUNTRY by Alan Paton / THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS by Ali Hazelwood In this very NOT spooky episode, we have a classic pairing of novels. They go together as well as peanut butter and jelly! First, Andrew reviews Alan Paton's 1948 classic, CRY, THE BELOVED COUNTRY and finds it a bit... surprising. Then Bailey delves into the world of STEM with Ali Hazelwood's buzzy romance, THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS. There are plenty of laughs, cries, and more shipping than a port town in the 1800s! 

Ever wondered how a staged kiss can evolve into a whirlwind of emotions, secrets and unexpected twists? Get ready for an exhilarating exploration of Ali Hazelwood's "The Love Hypothesis," where the hilarious yet complicated relationship between Olive and Doctor Adam Carlson keeps you hooked. Drawing parallels with Adam Driver's character in Stanford, we promise an episode filled with laughs and intriguing insights into Hazelwood's narrative where 'fake' dating sets the stage.Set against an academic backdrop with a touch of humor, we delve into rules of Olive and Adam's faux relationship, their unique personalities and how it all influences their interactions. The fake marriage possibility, Olive's asexuality and its impact on their relationship fuel a fun yet engaging discussion. As we navigate through shirtless professors' event at school, Adam's friendships and Olive's career triumphs, we extend the narrative beyond the pages. We wrap up the episode with a discussion on consent and problematic scenes in the book, examining how these aspects shape our perception of the characters. The writing style, the Star Wars reference, and how it plays out in the narrative are all put under spotlight. So join us in this humorous, insightful, and in-depth conversation on "The Love Hypothesis", and let's unravel this love saga together. PAGE CHEWINGAuthor interviews and book discussions with creatives in the book industry.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showbecome our Patron ♡ https://www.patreon.com/BookFixbuy us a book ♡ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thebookfixBusiness Inquiries: thebookfixpodcast@gmail.comfollow us on Tiktok! ♡ https://www.tiktok.com/@thebookfix

Your two favorite fake British friends address the age-old question: can a much loved book ever been successfully adapted into a feature-length film? Opinions abound as Friend of the Pod and author, Laura Marden, joins for the discussion about queer intimacy displayed on screen, the concept of found family, and perhaps most importantly, the magic that are white polo breeches.

Summary: Grab your beakers and your wolverine traps - Holly and Devin are talking biologists today! The more specific our themes get, the more fascinating we find the comparisons between books in our wheelhouses get; both books have a heavy focus on women in STEM and making careers in male-dominated fields, but while one gets your blood pumping with a fake dating trope, the other has your hackles up with the scent of murder. Overall, books featuring biologists and other scientists are entering the zeitgeist in a real way - with “Cli-fi” (climate change disaster fiction) and “women in STEM” rich ground for the modern writer.  Topics Discussed: The Heart (2:10): Devin discussed The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood, a STEM-y (get it?) story following third-year PhD candidate Olive Smith as she navigates her career and convincing her best friend Anh that she's over her ex so that Anh will finally cave and date him herself. To prove that Anh has the green light, Ali decides to show and not tell by kissing the first man she sees - who unfortunately happens to be Adam Carlsen, the hotshot professor who is notorious for his scathing feedback and relentlessly high expectations in the department. Devin's key takeaways were: The fake dating trope has never been more delicious to read; Adam needs to prove to his department head that he's putting down roots and not planning to leave the university so his research funds get released, and Olive is desperate to help her friend find her own happy ending.  Hazelwood confronts some very real, very upsetting realities for women working in STEM and navigating careers when internal politics, sexism, and unfair power dynamics create barriers at every stage; yes this is a romance, but it's also an accurate and incisive look at what blocks success for anyone that isn't a cis man in the sciences.  This book features Hazelwood's now trademark steaminess; Adam Carlsen reminds Devin of a brooding, cinnamon-roll-on-the-inside Adam Driver (so, basically, just Adam Driver); if you're looking for a sexy, tension-filled romance balanced out by real science, this book is for you.  The Dagger (18:27): Holly discussed A Solitude of Wolverines by Alice Henderson, a thriller that starts with a bang as protagonist Alex Carter almost dies at an event celebrating the completion of a recent conservation project to protect wetlands near Boston; someone has brought a gun to the event and opens fire. Saved at the last second, Alex decides to recover by taking a job studying wolverines in Montana. To Holly's delight, the research takes place at a creepy, rundown old ski resort. Her key takeaways were: There is a heavy sprinkling of important (and real, Holly should know from her work at the Audubon society) wildlife conservation issues; Henderson explores not only wolverines interacting with their environment but the importance of native plants and programs collaborating with farmers and ranchers to help protect birds and other wildlife.  Amidst the science, Alex is nearly driven off the road and spies footage in a wolverine trap camera of a badly injured man out in the snow; tension builds as time runs out to get to the bottom of what really is going on - all while still confronting lingering questions about what happened with the shooting in Boston.  While this is a rock solid thriller, it wasn't the most memorable Holly has read. Many of the male main characters felt interchangeable and became hard to follow at times. If you're looking for a plot-heavy environmental thriller, A Solitude of Wolverines is worth a shot (winks awkwardly).  Hot On the Shelf (38:39): Devin: The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston Holly: The Daughters of Izdihar by Hadeer Elsbai What's Making Our Hearts Race (43:27): Devin: Good Omens Season 2 on Amazon Prime Holly: Only Murders in the Building Season 3 on Hulu   Instagram: @heartsanddaggerspod Website: www.heartsanddaggerspod.com   If you like what you hear, please tell your friends and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so that we can find our perfect audience.

We're back for the third and final instalment of The Love Hypothesis. Olive is in love, but had lied to Adam and things have cooled off. What can possibly happen next? WELLLLLL it's about to get spicy in the very best way besties. A conference of that Olive and Adam both have to attend ends up bringing true feelings to the surface as we reach the final part of the book.  If you thought Chapter 55 in A Court of Mist and Fury was a lot, get ready for things to get even spicier, all in the name of science.

We're back and we're ready to get down to the business of weirdest, sexiest, and whoa/no of THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS by ALI HAZELWOOD. This fic turned barn burner of a romance novel (you can buy it Target!) uses characters from the Star Wars universe to tell the story of a third year PhD candidate catching real feelings in a fake relationship with a tenured faculty in her department. What is the line between real person fic and character fic? What about fic demands delicious cringe? Are there breasts so small and mouths so big? In the words of Jar Jar Binks - Dissen ganna be bery messy!

This ep, we're staying space together (continuing FanFicUary) for the space kids (you, faithful listeners) by discussing THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS by Ali Hazelwood. Olive (Stanford University Biology PhD Candidate AU Rey from Star Wars) and Adam (AU Kylo Ren) should not be together - he is tenured faculty in the department she's working on a PhD in. Thank goodness they are not together for real. But as often happens, fake relationships can lead to real consequences. Especially when that consequence is true love and sex at a conference. Why does the zeitgeist choose fascists? Is the real HEA just being treated as another worthy being? Will "Woodiwissification" be the 2024 word of the year? This is part 1 of a two-part stand-off between fanfiction, publishing, Isabeau, and the Star Wars franchise. Please don't sue us, Mickey. Also, we have some technical issues start at approximately the 23 minute mark, thanks for sticking with us. Whoa!mance is a part of Frolic Media.

As we pass into the ultimate HURT / COMFORT month, we feel called to speak on a subject near and dear. The kissin' cousin of our beloved Romance Genre - FAN FICTION. How does cultural context inform fic and romance? Do you need to be a fan to enjoy fic? Why has this taken us so long? We will interrogate the boundaries of fic and romance via a beloved object- one of Isabeau's fave fics - "Rough Magic" by gondalsqueen on Archive of Our Own. We will compare the (slightly) alternate universes of fan fiction and romance, or should we say the fic to 'mance pipeline, via "The Love Hypothesis" by Ali Hazelwood. And lastly, we will consume and critique a fic recommended by YOU, the listener. This is sure to be as fluffy as it is angsty, Whoa!mantics. Please DM us your fic recs on Twitter, @mance_whoa, or IG @whoamance. You can also email your recomendations to whoamancemail@gmail.com Whoa!mance is a part of the Frolic Podcast Network.

THROWBACK! Originally released September 12, 2022. We'll be back with new episodes in February 2023! If you've been listening to Books and the City for awhile you know Ali Hazelwood's first book, The Love Hypothesis, was one of the books that all four of us on the podcast absolutely loved! So naturally we were so excited that Emily got to sit down and chat with Ali herself! Who more fitting to discuss a STEM romance novel than our very own Dr. Emily?? The two chat about Ali's new book, Love on the Brain as well as all things science, fanfic, and even Star Trek. We hope you love their chat as much as we did. Feel free to send us a note about this chat, Ali's book(s), or anything else at booksandthecitypod@gmail.com. ------------------------> Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/673765/love-on-the-brain-by-ali-hazelwood/ The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/673764/the-love-hypothesis-by-ali-hazelwood/ Find Ali online!

Today we start one of our new features for Season Five: If You Liked…Read This! We begin with Ali Hazelwood's The Love Hypothesis, a book that took romance and BookTok by storm last year when it burst onto the NYT best seller list and hung out there for nearly a year, bringing so many new readers (and Reylos!) to romance. This one is full of tropes romance loves, and we take them topic by topic, recommending read alikes for everything from grumpy/sunshine, to academic romance, to STEM heroines, to that spicy sex scene that was a delightfully unexpected surprise! That, and we've got a bunch of Reylo fic recommended from Ali herself (check the end of show notes)!Show NotesTattoos are expensive! ReyLo is the ship name for Kylo Ren and Rey from the Star Wars movies. And the actor who plays Kylo Ren is Adam Driver. All about Pansexuality.Censorship on TikTok is so widespread is has its own wikipedia page, which makes it rife for misinformation about sex and sex education.Small point of order, Jen was at the LPI (Lunar and Planetary Institute), which is close to the Johnson NASA Space Center in Houston. Obviously, she wasn't at the JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory), because that's in California.

The gals' brand new advice segment is HERE! But before Kelly and Lizz dish their ideas on best family cars, they've got a fantastic little lineup for you. Kelly gives a not-so-glam review of motherhood and hates on the summer heat. She's also got a recap of her recent trip to Indy with the fam including her first Torchy's Tacos experience, fun with the kids, and the most darling parks she's ever seen.  Lizz brings a shocking and disturbing millennial word for girls that came straight from the mouth of a true Gen Z'er. It leaves Kelly and Lizz wondering…what are the Gen Z ladies calling the men?! Today's great 8 segment flips the script from last week where Kelly and Lizz decided which of the Disney male leads would win the Hunger Games. This week, the gals are lining up Elsa, Rapunzel, Mulan, Ariel, Jasmine, Belle, Pocahontas, and Meg from Hercules.  In the show's first ever advice segment working and pregnant with #2 mom, Angela, writes in to get Car Mom's advice on whether she and her husband should go with a Kia Telluride or a Hyundai Palisade as their new family car. Kelly and Lizz talk about car seat placement, third rows, and three-kiddo convenience.  In industry news storage startup StowIt.com provides people a place to park their cars, boats, and RVs AirBnB style. Then, Kelly and Lizz discover the most popular vehicle in each state and which has the highest percentage of minivans on the road. Lizz brings a ditch the drive through that will help you figure out what to do with your leftover hamburger buns from dinner or a backyard barbeque.  To wrap up the show, Kelly and Lizz check in on their summer goals and talk Peloton, painting kitchens, and peach salsa.  REMINDER: Get your copy or audio of The Love Hypothesis book and join us for our summer book club!

This week Kelly and Lizz are spying on a couple of grant-seeking scientists…aka they're loving the cheesy love story inside of this month's book club book The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood.  On the docket today is a millennial phrase of the day — “It's not that deep” — as well as a hysterical great eight, decent industry news, and a ditch the drive through coming to you from a TCP listener in Ohio.  Quick note from Kelly and Lizz: For July and August we'll be publishing one episode per week. In September we'll get back to two episodes per week.  Lizz did her first ad on Instagram and is taking the slow burn growth of her following day by day. She's happy to stay behind the camera for tours and content creation, though, since Kelly is, in Lizz's words, atrocious at holding the camera.  In the Tik Tok inspired great eight this week Kelly and Lizz decide which Disney princes would survive the Hunger Games. Featured are princes and male love interests from The Little Mermaid, Mulan, Tangled, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Frozen, Princess and the Frog, and Sleeping Beauty. Who do the gals think can fight AND survive? In industry news, hopefully we've turned a corner and aren't just headed downhill as demand numbers are slowing down a little bit. Interest rates and prices are up, some dealerships are trying to survive without much new car inventory, and companies like CarMax are seeing a decline in retail sales. Kia and Hyundai cars between 2011-2015 are being stolen everywhere after viral videos have shown how to start these cars without a key and Ford announced this week they're no longer going to be allowing buyouts of their EV leases. The gals speculate why Ford is following Tesla's lead.  To round out the episode Kelly and Lizz rant about Subdivisions, HOA's, toxic neighborhood Facebook groups, and dudes on hoverboards selling bug spray at dinner time. Speaking of dinner time, this week's ditch the drive through is a delicious and quick throw-it-together meal that is a whole-family favorite at Kylie's home in Ohio.

Warning: Bumpy ride ahead! Lizz is back from her 10 hour drive to Dallas WITH NO DRESS. The gals share their last three debit transactions — which may just spark some controversy and reveal the next book club book. Lizz's wildest wedding dress fears came true this week complete with a near black-out, dress that wasn't even close to fitting, and a wedding date quickly approaching. Kelly is going hard on hyping her backup and fending off the nightmare stories from other brides. At least the duo have Lizz's bachelorette party to look forward to in a couple of weeks! Kelly and Lizz recount their last three debit card transactions. Kelly shares her bread bagel slice secrets (is this bagel heresy?) and purchase of a new, life changing 16 slice apple slicer. Lizz's card is still getting a wedding themed workout with her most recent purchases of new wedding shoes and a fake diamond ring for the boat ride. The millennial word of the day — ship — is here to make Kelly, Lizz, and their millennial mom listeners a little less lame. The Carpool Podcast officially ships Lizz and Mattie. In industry news, new vehicles cost more, but there's no shortage of buyers. The average transaction price for a vehicle is now over half of the annual US median household income and Kelly's passion for affordable family vehicles is on the rise, too. A new collab between Honda Motor Company and Sony looks like a Tesla baby, and Kia shares its EV strategy and hopes to debut eight EVs by 2029. A short and sweet ditch the drive through comes to you from Kelly's freezer and Stauffer's lasagna. This one's not so quick to cook, but it definitely belongs in your back pocket as a no-brainer, family-friendly, crave-worthy dinner option.
