emotional depth and… some other kind of depth.
I chose this book because I‘m on a mission to read all the Christina Lauren books so here we are. I already liked Fizzy as a side character in The Soulmate Equation, but she definitely felt more like comic relief there. In The True Love Experiment, Fizzy finally gets the depth she deserves—and I ended up loving her. She’s chaotic, funny, emotional, driven, and layered in a way that makes her incredibly relatable. Connor was great too. I liked that he wasn’t some perfect hero—he’s flawed, aware of it, and actively trying to grow. That made him feel grounded and real. The chemistry between Fizzy and Connor was on point: the banter, the tension, the emotional connection—it all felt believable and kept me invested. I also really appreciated the way the authors handled their relationships with others. Connor’s dynamic with his ex and her partner, and their healthy co-parenting setup, was a standout. Fizzy’s close bonds with her family and friends were equally heartwarming. As someone who adored Jess and River (and especially him!) in The Soulmate Equation, I loved their appearances here. Christina Lauren gave us just enough of them to satisfy returning readers, without relying too heavily on their story. Yes, the ending was a little over the top, but honestly? That’s exactly what I expected and wanted. It was fun, a little extra, and totally satisfying. This one is perfect for fans of Christina Lauren, Emily Henry, and Tessa Bailey—anyone who loves smart, funny romance with real emotional depth. And a goooood portion of spice.
