The Love Hypothesis

Description

By Ali Hazelwood

Olive Smith, a third-year PhD candidate, kisses the first man she sees in a corridor to convince her best friend she is dating someone. The man is Adam Carlsen, a professor with a reputation for reducing graduate students to tears.

He agrees to keep the fiction going, for his own reasons. Set inside a Stanford biology department, and accurate about the politics of one.
