This viral BookTok sensation combines fake dating, witty banter, slow-burn romance, and irresistible STEM humor in a heartfelt story that has captivated millions of readers worldwide.

The Love Hypothesis is a standalone novel and is not part of a series.

As a third-year Ph.D. candidate at Stanford, Olive Smith believes in science—not happily ever afters. So when she needs to convince her best friend that she's dating someone, she does the only logical thing she can think of:

She kisses the first man she sees.

Unfortunately, that man happens to be Dr. Adam Carlsen—the brilliant, intimidating professor known throughout the biology department for his impossible standards and intimidating reputation.

To Olive's complete surprise, Adam agrees to become her fake boyfriend.

What begins as a simple arrangement quickly becomes much more complicated as conferences, research setbacks, academic politics, and undeniable chemistry blur the line between pretending and reality.

As Olive's carefully controlled world begins to unravel, she discovers that love may be the one experiment science can't fully explain.

Filled with laugh-out-loud humor, heartfelt emotion, and unforgettable romance, The Love Hypothesis is a charming STEM romance that proves sometimes the best discoveries happen when you least expect them.
