About the book

The Love Hypothesis is a romance novel set at Stanford University. Olive Smith, a third-year biology doctoral student who studies pancreatic cancer, wants her best friend Anh to believe she has moved on from her ex-boyfriend. To do that, she claims to be dating Adam Carlsen, a young professor whom students describe as harsh and exacting. Adam goes along with the scheme because his research funds are frozen, and he wants the department to think he intends to stay. Together they set out to convince everyone that the relationship is real.
