Description

"The reigning queen of STEM romance."—The Washington Post

An Indie Next and Library Reads Pick!

Rival physicists collide in a vortex of academic feuds and fake dating shenanigans in this delightfully STEMinist romcom from the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis and Love on the Brain.

 
The many lives of theoretical physicist Elsie Hannaway have finally caught up with her. By day, she’s an adjunct professor, toiling away at grading labs and teaching thermodynamics in the hopes of landing tenure. By other day, Elsie makes up for her non-existent paycheck by offering her services as a fake girlfriend, tapping into her expertly honed people-pleasing skills to embody whichever version of herself the client needs.
 
Honestly, it’s a pretty sweet gig—until her carefully constructed Elsie-verse comes crashing down. Because Jack Smith, the annoyingly attractive and arrogant older brother of her favorite client, turns out to be the cold-hearted experimental physicist who ruined her mentor’s career and undermined the reputation of theorists everywhere. And he’s the same Jack Smith who rules over the physics department at MIT, standing right between Elsie and her dream job.
 
Elsie is prepared for an all-out war of scholarly sabotage but…those long, penetrating looks? Not having to be anything other than her true self when she’s with him? Will falling into an experimentalist’s orbit finally tempt her to put her most guarded theories on love into practice?

    It took so long to get into romance, and maybe that’s how it was supposed to be, but I felt that there was just more scientific talk than anything else.
  • Elsie is all of us

    I was pleasantly surprised by this book, i did not love “Love Hypothesis,” and was skeptical to read another work by Ali. But this book was absolutely hilarious and Elsie was so relatable. Hazelwood has an amazing talent for making me laugh out loud and also cry a little. The hype was worth this book, and I could not set it down.

    This was everything I could ever ask for in a book! Witty, loving, intimate, and truly wonderful. Elsie and Jack’s dynamic will forever be my favorite relationship. I love all of Ali Hazlewood’s books, but this one took the cake.
  • Excellent writing

    Liked this one as much/ if not more than Love Hypothesis. I don’t always get that feeling of dread when you know a book is about to end so you want to draw it out but also can’t put it down…but I did reading this book.
