Ever wondered what happens when a spur-of-the-moment kiss in a moment of panic turns into a full-blown, fake relationship with a notoriously stoic professor? Get ready to delve into the captivating world of Ali Hazelwood's The Love Hypothesis, a story that has taken the literary world by storm, and is now gearing up for its Hollywood debut.

The core of The Love Hypothesis revolves around Olive Smith, a PhD student navigating the complex world of academia. In a bid to convince her best friend that she's moved on from a past relationship, Olive impulsively kisses a stranger. The wrinkle? That stranger turns out to be none other than Dr. Adam Carlson, a prominent and intimidating professor known for his demanding nature. What starts as a charade to appease a friend quickly morphs into a mutually beneficial arrangement. Olive needs to maintain the facade of a relationship, and Adam requires leverage to convince the faculty that he intends to remain at Stanford University. As they navigate the pretense of dating, Olive, a self-proclaimed nonbeliever in lasting romance, finds herself increasingly drawn to Adam, leading her to question her own long-held beliefs. She discovers the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.
