Overview:
From the bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis and Love on the Brain, both TikTok sensations and global hits.
A delightful STEMinist romcom featuring rival physicists caught in a vortex of academic rivalry and fake dating antics.
The story centers on Elsie Hannaway, a theoretical physicist juggling her day job as an adjunct professor with her side hustle of pretending to be a fake girlfriend to make ends meet.
Elsie’s carefully crafted fake-verse unravels when she encounters Jack Smith, the arrogant and attractive older brother of her client.
Jack, a cold-hearted experimental physicist at MIT who once sabotaged Elsie’s mentor’s career, now stands between Elsie and her dream job—creating a tense and humorous rivalry.
As they clash, Elsie begins to question her guarded theories about love, especially as her interactions with Jack grow unexpectedly genuine.
The novel promises witty banter, STEM-centric romance, and a celebration of women in science.
