Publisher Description
Rival physicists collide in a vortex of academic feuds and fake dating shenanigans in this delightfully STEMinist romcom from the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis and Love on the Brain.
The many lives of theoretical physicist Elsie Hannaway have finally caught up with her. By day, she’s an adjunct professor, toiling away at grading labs and teaching thermodynamics in the hopes of landing tenure. By other day, Elsie makes up for her non-existent paycheck by offering her services as a fake girlfriend, tapping into her expertly honed people-pleasing skills to embody whichever version of herself the client needs.
Honestly, it’s a pretty sweet gig—until her carefully constructed Elsie-verse comes crashing down. Because Jack Smith, the annoyingly attractive and arrogant older brother of her favorite client, turns out to be the cold-hearted experimental physicist who ruined her mentor’s career and undermined the reputation of theorists everywhere. And he’s the same Jack Smith who rules over the physics department at MIT, standing right between Elsie and her dream job.
Elsie is prepared for an all-out war of scholarly sabotage but…those long, penetrating looks? Not having to be anything other than her true self when she’s with him? Will falling into an experimentalist’s orbit finally tempt her to put her most guarded theories on love into practice?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Get swept up in this nerdy enemies-to-lovers tale from the queen of STEM romance. Elsie is a brilliant theoretical physicist, but adjunct teaching doesn’t pay much so she takes on a side gig pretending to be her clients’ girlfriend. But things get complicated when Elsie applies for a job at MIT…and the decision lies in the hands of the brooding and charismatic Jack, the brother of one of her clients. Narrator Thérèse Plummer absolutely nails Elsie’s quirks and insecurities. If you like your romantic banter with a smart—and smart-ass—sense of humor, don’t pass up Love, Theoretically.
Customer Reviews
Liked it but….
Love how Therese “does” Elsie but not so much Jack. I’m much more of a fan of a true male narrator voice playing the male lead voice. This just annoyed me in this book.
MUST READ
This book was amazing, it’s my fav out of Ali’s ! She portrays smart and emotionally unavailable WOMAN better than anyone, you can relate to her characters if you have some trauma, her men are always the underdogs!!! MUST READ/LISTEN… yes sometimes the cluelessness gets annoying but it’s okay they find out everything they need to know before the book ends 5/5 ⭐️
One of my favorite books
I seriously love this book. Read it. You’re welcome!
