The Love Hypothesis - printed edges - Ali Hazelwood

Olive Smith is a third-year Ph.D. student at Stanford University and does not believe in long-term romantic relationships. But her best friend is convinced of the importance of love, so, to convince Anh that she is dating someone and that she is on the right track to be happy ever after, Olive has to make a decision. Scientists need evidence. So, like any self-respecting biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees.

That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a popular young professor and a well-known jerk. That's why Olive is absolutely stunned when the tyrant of Stanford's lab agrees to play along and be her fake boyfriend. But when a major scientific conference goes haywire, pouring acid on Olive's career, Adam surprises her again with his unwavering support and a rock-hard abdomen... with abs and all.

Suddenly, their little experiment is dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis about love is putting her own heart under a microscope.
