Summary: “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.” Via Goodreads
Review: This may have been my favorite rom-com that I have read. The characters were both pretty likable, and I loved that it had to do with the STEM field. The reason I liked this one so much more than all the other rom-coms I have read is because there was no issue of silly miscommunication. It is so exhausting when that is the reason they “end” the relationship. This one did a good job of not having that problem. There was some lying, but that was something I could handle.
Overall this was a pretty cute and likeable rom com.
4/5 Stars
