Free Audiobook : The Love Hypothesis, By Ali Hazelwood

Olive Smith, a third-year PhD candidate, holds a pragmatic view of romantic relationships, considering them to be short-lived. However, her best friend Anh strongly believes in lasting love, leading to Olive's current predicament. Convincing Anh that Olive is in a committed and blissful relationship requires more than mere wishful thinking; scientists demand evidence. Faced with this challenge, Olive resorts to a hasty solution—she kisses the first man she sees.

To her astonishment, that man happens to be Adam Carlsen, a young and talented professor known for his arrogance. Surprisingly, Stanford's prominent lab figure agrees to assist Olive in upholding her deception by posing as her fake boyfriend. When a significant science conference takes an unexpected turn, jeopardizing Olive's career, Adam once again surprises her by offering unwavering support and showcasing his impressively chiseled physique.

Suddenly, their experiment in pretense starts teetering dangerously close to becoming a genuine emotional entanglement. Olive realizes that exploring the intricacies of love is more intricate than any hypothesis, and analyzing her own feelings becomes as intricate as placing her heart under a microscope.
