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.

Perfect
The book catches you, it’s great how everything makes you fall in love with the characters. Adam is really fantastic, he is not the typical protagonist I have read and I love it.
I loved it so much that I finished it in two days.
Amazing!
I absolutely loved every word! While I come from a vastly different academic environment (I studied a Marketing bachelor and a Master of Business Administration degree), this book was a pleasure to read.
Thank you Ali! And I hope someday The Love Hypothesis could get a Spanish translation; I would love to read it again in my native language.

Hermosa y adictiva ❤️
Literal lo termine en 2 días, tal vez hubiera sido menos sino existiera el trabajo y no tuviera que dormir. Disfrute The Love Hypothesis como hacía mucho que no disfrutaba un libro, prácticamente me la pase sonriendo. Me enamoré perdidamente de Adam Carlsen, cada vez que leía su descripción no podía evitar imaginar a quien inspiró el personaje (porque a él también lo amo). Es una lectura ligera pero que te atrapa tanto que no puedes dejar de leer.
