Mia Y Says…
A fun and perfectly executed academic rivals-to-lovers romance. This story follows Olive, a biology PhD student who people-pleases her way into fake dating a young professor. Ali Hazelwood is the best at fun, silly, spicy romances with just a sprinkle of commentary about women in STEM fields. This is my favourite of hers, check it out before the film comes out later this year!
________________________
When a fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction, it throws one woman’s carefully calculated theories on love into chaos. 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 on her way to a happily ever after was always going to be tough, scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting woman, 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 he agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire and Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support, their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion.

The novelist has just completed a manuscript featuring poisonous pen-portraits of almost everyone he knows.
