THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS

This book is a rom-com centered around Olive Smith, a third-year PhD candidate, and Adam Carlsen, a grumpy professor known for his bluntness. When Olive lies about having a boyfriend to avoid awkward questions, she impulsively kisses Adam, who surprisingly agrees to play along with her fake dating scheme. What starts as a pretend relationship soon turns into something real as they spend more time together, navigating academia, emotions, and a growing attraction. The story is full of humor, heart, and the charming awkwardness of a fake relationship turning into real love.
