LoveReading Says
TikTok and social media most definitely made me buy this book. It didn't disappoint! An entertaining romance that finds Olive, a third year Ph.D candidate rope tall, dark and unapproachable professor Adam Carlsen into a fake dating scenario, aiming to convince her best friend they're a couple.
As you can probably guess from the synopsis there's plenty of awkward, cringe-worthy moments mixed in with the romance. This book is incredibly readable, the plot's overall predicability is comforting and keeps you turnining the page, reading "just one more chapter" until you reach the inevitable ending. A brilliant feel-good romance, my first instinct when finishing The Love Hypothesis was to pick it back up and start again. If you loved The Flatshare or The Kiss Quotient, you may very well want to get you hands on a copy of The Love Hypothesis.

The Love Hypothesis Synopsis
Based on the available information and the data hitherto collected, my hypothesis is that the further I stay away from love, the better off I will be.
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 on her way to a happily ever after was always going to be tough, scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting woman, 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 he agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire and Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support (and his unyielding abs), their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion.
Olive soon discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.
