As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn’t believe in lasting romantic relationships, but her best friend does, which leads Olive into a tricky situation. To convince Anh that she’s on her way to a happily ever after, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees—Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor with a tough reputation.
To her surprise, Adam agrees to keep up the charade and be her fake boyfriend. When a big science conference goes awry, Adam’s unwavering support makes their fake relationship feel dangerously real. Olive soon learns that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is examining her own heart.
