The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood is a contemporary romantic comedy about two scientists whose fake relationship produces unexpectedly real chemistry. An instant New York Times bestseller and TikTok sensation, it puts love to the test in the world of academia.
Third-year Ph.D. candidate Olive Smith doesn’t believe in lasting romance. But convincing her best friend Anh that she is dating requires proof, so Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees.
That man is Adam Carlsen, a brilliant young professor with a notoriously difficult reputation. To Olive’s surprise, he agrees to become her fake boyfriend and keep their arrangement a secret.
When a major science conference threatens Olive’s career, Adam’s unwavering support challenges everything she thought she knew about him. Their carefully controlled experiment soon becomes far more complicated than either scientist expected.
