Description
The Love Hypothesis - Ali Hazelwood
When fake dating meets scientific chemistry, even the best theories can fall apart.
Olive Smith is a third-year Ph.D. candidate who believes in science far more than she believes in lasting romantic relationships. But when she needs to convince her best friend that she has moved on, Olive makes an impulsive decision and kisses the first man she sees.
Unfortunately, that man is Adam Carlsen – a brilliant young professor with a reputation for being intimidating, demanding and extremely difficult to impress.
To Olive's surprise, Adam agrees to pretend that they are dating.
What begins as a carefully constructed fake relationship soon becomes increasingly complicated as shared coffee dates, academic pressures and unexpected moments of support start to challenge Olive's assumptions about Adam.
And when their experiment begins producing results neither of them expected, Olive discovers that understanding attraction may be considerably more difficult than testing a scientific hypothesis.
Set within the world of academia and scientific research, The Love Hypothesis combines contemporary romance, fake dating, witty humour, slow-burn chemistry and women-in-STEM themes.
Perfect for readers who enjoy intelligent romantic comedies, academic romance, grumpy-meets-sunshine dynamics and relationships that begin as an experiment before becoming something much more real.
This UK paperback edition also includes a bonus chapter from Adam's point of view.
