The Hypothesis of Love — Special Edition

Now with an extra chapter: read chapters 15 and 16 from Adam's point of view!

When a fake relationship between two scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction, a woman's carefully calculated theories about love are put to the test.

Olive Smith, a PhD student in Biology, doesn't believe in long-lasting relationships. After breaking up with Jeremy, she realizes that her best friend, Anh, likes him and decides to set them up. To convince her that she doesn't care and that she is happy and dating, Olive needs to prove it, but, feeling pressured, she panics and decides to kiss the first man she sees: Adam Carlsen, a young professor from another department. Olive ends up shocked to find that this tyrant from the Stanford University lab, known for leaving students in tears, agrees to keep up the charade and pretend that he is, indeed, her boyfriend.

When a scientific conference goes wrong and threatens Olive's career, Adam surprises her in several ways... and a small scientific possibility, which was merely a hypothesis about love, then turns into an unexpected experiment.

A wonderful story immersed in an academic setting. A test tube for life.
