#179 – The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood (with Anna)

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.

TW: sexual content, sexual harassment, sexual assault, parent death (in the past), cancer (in the past), and sexism

Spoilers start at 37:30

You can find Ali Hazelwood’s Reylo fanfic here on AO3, although anything that has been rewritten and published is no longer there.
