My Review / Thoughts

“A good kiss will do that: make a girl forget herself for a while.” –The Love Hypothesis

This book is very cute. The progression of Olive’s feelings is subtle. This is on my list of books that I would re read! Adam’s POV complements the story very well. If it didn’t have his POV I definitely would have said that this book needed it. I’ve been recommending this book to all my friends and they’ve also been recommending it to me not knowing I’ve read it.

Summary of the Book

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. And 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.
