ALI ANNOUNCED THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS SEQUEL
Cover for The Two-Body Problem, the sequel to The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood, showing the backs of the two main characters, Olive, a medium height white brunette, and Adam, a tall black-haired man, with their arms around each other. Olive's hand is in Adam's back pocket. Additional text bubbles read "In hardcover February 2nd", "More good news below", and "MRC is developing a filn based on the book for Amazon MGM Studios". Caption on the Instagram post by Ali Hazelwood: Ali says: Friends! Hi! "I wrote a sequel to The Love Hypothesis" is not a sentence I thought I'd say a year or so ago, but now I weirdly can't imagine a world in which The Two-Body Problem doesn't exist. I'm really eager to talk more about this book and how it came about in the next few months. For now let me just say that the TLJ movie and its cast made me fall for Adam and Olive all over again, that revisiting them was an absolute pleasure, and that I am delighted to show you the amazing cover that @lilith_saur illustrated (I can't believe she and I go back almost a decade by now 😭) As someone who gets VERY attached to stories and characters, I know that unannounced sequels can be blindsiding, so feel free to skip this book and overwrite it with whatever headcanon you prefer, and I'll see you on the next one! But if you want to read more about Adam and Olive, The Two-Body Problem spans a couple of years, and it's a mix of of slice of life, postdoctoral turmoil, and an unflinching exploration of the hardest challenge one will face in a long-term relationship: deciding what to have for dinner. If you pick it up, I really hope you enjoy 💙 And: Nothing is guaranteed, but MRC is developing a film based on The Two-Body Problem for Amazon MGM Studios. More soon, ily, kthxbyeeee ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Claire Scanlon also directed Set It Up, so it’s no surprise to me that The Love Hypothesis is full of banter and moments that made me laugh out loud

Working on the next chapter of Westward Home today! yall, Ben is down baddd #reyloww
He’d dreamed that he and Rey were alone on the prairie, no wagons in sight, but neither of them were afraid or lonely for they were too well occupied with each other. They had lain together in the tall grass, hidden from the world, sunshine in the sky, a cool breeze playing with the wisps of Rey’s hair, violin music coming from far away, and wildflowers in every shade all around them. If they’d spoken of anything, he didn’t remember it when he woke. He only remembered the sensations of touching Rey’s palm, of hearing her laughter and seeing her smiling at him, of the feel of her body underneath his, the slow caress of his fingers on her legs as he drew up her skirt, the heat and dampness at the apex of her thighs that drew him in until he was completely lost. Man caresses woman's leg surrounded by wildflowers

I've had a tough few days and haven't felt much like writing. But I just spent an hour with Westward Home, and it was such a balm. Sometimes making the art is just as soothing as consuming it.

Anyway, here's a little peek at the start of Ch. 4. Oh, those darn sleeping arrangements! #reylo #reyloww
But along with the return to sunshine was the end of Ben’s excuse for needing to sleep next to Rey. With the ground dry again, they had no reason to share a bedroll or sleep pressed up against each other in the confines of their wagon. As much as Ben knew, though, that sleeping separately was the right thing to do, he couldn’t bring himself to mention it. Neither did Rey. He wondered if she kept silent because she, like him, enjoyed sleeping together or because she simply couldn’t care either way. It was probably the latter, which meant Ben was doing her a disservice by continuing to spread their blankets in one shared pile. But if Rey was content to sleep next to him—whatever her reasons—he couldn’t bear to deny himself the pleasure, no matter how foolish it was. And it was indeed foolish.

Listen ok...... It's set on the Oregon Trail, so the real answer is unfortunately probably "Home on the Range." HOWEVER!! The vibe of the fic is ~yearning~ so let me recommend:

Oh no! They might have to sleep next to each other! What a shame...... 😈 #reylofakeit #reylosss
“Where are we gonna sleep tonight?” “Well…” He scratched at his forehead with his thumbnail. “We can sleep under the wagon. The rubber sheet will keep us dry if we don’t move around too much.” She was silent for a moment as he tucked into his meal. “Both of us?”
