“He’d clearly never seen a rom-com or read a romance novel in his life.”

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.

“He’d clearly never seen a rom-com or read a romance novel in his life.”

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 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. But 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.

There’s something about romance novels. Even though you know they’ll end up together, there’s something soothing and exciting about that.

Everything everyone has said is true, you WILL binge this in a day. I did it in 24 hours just because of school, but I’m not lying. While I was at school I really just wanted to read my book 🤣.

I’ve heard people say this is a loosely based on Reylo, but I have chosen to ignore this fact 😌. This book is amazing, no matter what it was based off.

Olive. She was such a ray of sunshine. AND A FELLOW CANADIAN (I may get a little too excited when I see someone from Canada). I really liked how the author approached her as a character. She wasn’t perfect, but when talking about her flaws she showed that it’s completely normal. I really appreciated it.

Adam. Our six pack abs friend 😉. I liked how the author approached him too. Grumpy x sunshine anyone? I did really love Adam, especially when he went into protective boyfriend mode hehe.

Fake dating trope is always the best, even though I felt like they were actually dating most of the time 🤣.

I really enjoyed this, especially since it was also focused on the academies. I found it really interesting to learn about it.

Now where’s my Adam to take me to Starbucks? ...more

4.5/5 🥹
2/5 🌶

Fue precioso ❤️ tiene una escena sensual, pero fue suficiente y más aún cuando lees el pov de Adam (lo dejé en mi Instagram).
Me gustó que se tocaran temas como mujeres en la ciencia, demisexualidad (que generalmente tiene poca representación) y además tener a ese grumpy adorable 🥹

One of my favourite romances ever. It lives up to the hype, great plot and characters... just a fun time of reading.
Intelligent Ph.d. student Olive has kissed professor Adam Carlson. But it's only to show her friend, Anh that she is over Jeremy, the guy she was sort of seeing, who is now dating Anh. To help push her case further, Olive and Adam start a fake dating relationship.
Olive was so likeable! Sometimes I struggle with female mains in romances as they can be a bit too quirky for my liking ...more

2.5 Stars, idk but I thought that this book was different and that I will really like it and enjoyed it but no. Like diary I know that it was about how “scientific” but the thing is that I didn’t know that they were going to talk about of science and those things and I don’t like science it makes me bored and this was the problem with this book, like I don’t know but they were some parts that were good and I enjoyed and I didn’t want to stop reading cause they were really good but they were othe ...more
