Love, Theoretically
Description
"The reigning queen of STEM romance."--The Washington Post An Indie Next and Library Reads Pick! Rival physicists collide in a vortex of academic feuds and fake dating shenanigans in this delightfully STEMinist romcom from the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis and Love on the Brain. The many lives of theoretical physicist Elsie Hannaway have finally caught up with her. By day, she's an adjunct professor, toiling away at grading labs and teaching thermodynamics in the hopes of landing tenure. By other day, Elsie makes up for her non-existent paycheck by offering her services as a fake girlfriend, tapping into her expertly honed people-pleasing skills to embody whichever version of herself the client needs. Honestly, it's a pretty sweet gig--until her carefully constructed Elsie-verse comes crashing down. Because Jack Smith, the annoyingly attractive and arrogant older brother of her favorite client, turns out to be the cold-hearted experimental physicist who ruined her mentor's career and undermined the reputation of theorists everywhere. And he's the same Jack Smith who rules over the physics department at MIT, standing right between Elsie and her dream job. Elsie is prepared for an all-out war of scholarly sabotage but...those long, penetrating looks? Not having to be anything other than her true self when she's with him? Will falling into an experimentalist's orbit finally tempt her to put her most guarded theories on love into practice?

First book I’ve read in years and it got me into reading again. Recommend it for all the STEM girlies
I didn't like the female MC with people-pleaser syndrome, and I am a bit disappointed that the male MC, who's like totally ideal, starting with his abs and ending with his feministic views, is so obsessed with this girl. Usually, I'm all like "dude, this woman is too good for you", but in this case, I want to say the opposite. In my rom-coms I want both characters to be equally awesome!
Ugh. It was good… ish. I’m just so over these brilliant intellectual women being written with ZERO self awareness, emotional intelligence, or relational skills. Gah. Can we get a heroine that has both an academic brain AND an ability to articulate what she wants/needs?! Is that too much to ask??
This book was SO, SO, SO good. I love a good guy who want to take care of their significant other. I love Cici and the hedgehog. Adorable overload!
