Back in 2021, fans fell hard for The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood.

What is ‘The Love Hypothesis’ about?
At the heart of The Love Hypothesis is Olive, a Ph.D. candidate who has wholeheartedly devoted herself to her studies. Despite having little time for romance, she’s harbored a crush on Jeremy—until she learns that her best friend Ahn has fallen for him as well. In an effort to prove to Ahn that she’s unbothered, Olive—in the heat of the moment—hastily smooches Adam Carlsen, an utterly intimidating yet devastatingly handsome professor. Soon enough, a desperate and impulsive kiss turns into something more, Olive and Adam now entangled in a fake relationship that both are benefiting from—but what happens when things turn real?
“I have seen it, and I loved it,” revealed Ali Hazelwood in conversation with Harper’s Bazaar regarding the film. “It was amazing. I feel almost like I don’t deserve it. I think they did such a great job. The actors are amazing, like the entire cast plays so well off of each other. I love what they have done with the story, the things that they have changed.”
With that in mind, take a peek at who’s bringing this story to life!
Lili Reinhart stars as Olive
Readers fell for Olive almost instantly, and who better to bring the character to life than the ever-so-charming Lili Reinhart? “If you aren’t familiar, the big, important part of The Love Hypothesis and sort of the engine of the story, is that these two come together because of Olive’s loyalty to her best friend,” Reinhart shared with People. “I really enjoyed the friendship aspect. I think it’s a romantic comedy. It’s about two people falling in love, but it also stemming from a place of female friendship, which is really beautiful and lovely.”
Tom Bateman brings Adam to life
The gruff and handsome Adam is being portrayed by Tom Bateman, and the actor urged fans that the book itself was honored as best as possible throughout the entire film. “Every single person involved with this had such a deep love for the book and for doing it justice for everyone that loves it, for the amazing characters in the world,” Bateman shared with People. “The intention was always we wanna make this the best it could be. And who better to tell it to than a group of people who love it so much?”
