Hi, everyone! Have you ever heard of the New York Time bestselling “The Love Hypothesis”? It is a rom-com that became very popular on BookTok, which is a sub-community of TikTok, focusing on literature and books, where people discuss and review what they have read through their Tik Tok. I have just finished it and I really loved its plot and style. It is funny, light and lovely. If you enjoy romance as much as I do, you must read it!
