A BuzzFeed Best Summer Read of 2021

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.

Best book I have read in years!

I ordered this book because of tiktok like most people. amazingly it was even better than all of the reviews. it is hands down the best book I have bread and quite some time. There was never a dull spot. I laughed, I antagonized, it just held my attention through the whole book. I would recommend this book to anyone who actually wants to feel amazing about the book you just read.

10/10

If could give this book over 5 stars I would. I will recommend this book to EVERYONE!

Don't waste a credit!

The character Olive was written so poorly.
There is lighthearted romcom and then theres this.

The virgin trope was maddening.

A smart, ambitious, woman that was finger nail on a chalkboard annoying with her self-deprecation.

Her self doubt and lies that were constant in the book took you out of the story constantly.

The 25 year old Virgin angle was stupid.
I found myself screaming out loud to the author so many times.

If I had a friend like this main character Id run far far away.
I shouldnt of finished it. Dont waste your credit...its terrible.
It has the potential to be a good story its just the main character and how the premise played out was aweful.

AWESOME

I really like this book! the first of the year and the first 5 stars.

Complete Delight!

This story was a complete delight to listen to. Sweet, funny and, at moments, heartbreaking. A slow burn with a bit of fire. It’s definitely worth the credit and will be in my re-listen rotation for sure!
