Not in Love by Ali Hazlewood - A Review

I found Not in Love entertaining and a nice change of pace from the usual romance fare, though it did have a few quirks. 

The dialogue is clever and fun—there were lines that made me laugh out loud. And while Hazelwood’s signature spicy scenes are a bit much for me personally, I do appreciate how they show the emotional connection growing between the characters.

What really stood out were the characters. Rue and Eli are complex, with real psychological struggles that shape how they interact. I loved how Eli fell for Rue first and how he genuinely accepts her social quirks—those moments made the romance feel authentic. The friendships and character dynamics were also enjoyable, even if a few side characters, like Hark.

The story can feel a little disjointed at times but the emotional depth, humor make up for it.

Rating: ★★★☆☆
