A BuzzFeed Best Summer Read of 2021
When a fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction, it throws one woman's carefully calculated theories on love into chaos.
As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships—but her best friend does, and that's what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive is dating and well on her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees.
That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor—and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford's reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive's career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support and even more unyielding...six-pack abs.
Suddenly their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hazelwood debuts with a charming, offbeat rom-com pairing a somewhat awkward doctoral candidate with a hotshot young professor. Olive Smith, a third-year PhD student in biology at Stanford University, doubts that happily ever after exists, while her bestie, Anh, is a hopeless romantic. But Olive briefly dated Anh's current crush, Jeremy, and now Anh's refusing to act on her feelings because of "girl code." In an attempt to prove she's over Jeremy and alleviate Anh's guilt, Olive impulsively kisses famously irascible professor Adam Carlsen and convinces him to "fake-date" her. But as attraction and chemistry grow, their relationship becomes more than pretense. Things further evolve after Olive is harassed and belittled at a professional conference and Adam provides a supportive shoulder. But can their relationship hold up in the real world? With whip-smart and endearing characters, snappy prose, and a quirky take on a favorite trope, Hazelwood convincingly navigates the fraught shoals of academia. The delightful supporting characters, especially Adam's colleague Holden Rodriquez and Olive's friends Malcolm and Anh, add flavor—and readers will love seeing the villain of the story dispatched in appropriate fashion. This smart, sexy contemporary should delight a wide swath of romance lovers.

The love hypothesis
Ok right, I’ve just read the first two chapters because my skeptical brain wasn’t sure to buy the book, but I liked it so much that now I need to buy it in order to know what Olive will do and how she will decide to lead her life. I loved this book at first sight because I relate so much to Olive, as a STEM lover, and her character is so well-written that you can’t stop reading. Well, maybe I’m just a hopeless romantic like her… anyway, I totally recommend you this book!
Loved
Love this book so so much.
Olive is one of my favorite female character ever. She is super cute, smart and funny and I can’t totally relate with her.
And Adam… omg. He is a dream. A super sweet genius who will raise your standards on men to the stars 😄
I definitely recommend this book to all those who like a light and romantic book that makes you daydream ❤️
Awesome book, adorable story☺️
I LOVED THIS BOOK so much I finished it in, I believe, 2 days, couldn’t get enough of it. I would have wanted so much more from the ending, like more of their happily ever after, but it’s ok. Such an original spin on a somewhat classic romantic trope, the whole academia aspect. I literally know nothing about it, so it was so interesting to read about that in between the lines too. Recommend it 100%!!!
