A hipótese do amor
by Editora Arqueiro
Olive Smith is a Ph.D. candidate who believes in science, not romance. To convince her best friend that she is over her ex, she impulsively kisses the first man she sees in the lab. That man happens to be Adam Carlsen, a young, notoriously grumpy professor. They strike a deal to fake a relationship, hoping to appease their social circles and academic obligations. What follows is a sharp, witty dance of intellectual sparring and accidental intimacy. The pacing is snappy and lighthearted, anchored by the friction of their forced proximity and the slow, agonizingly satisfying burn of their evolving connection. If you enjoy messy, high-stakes academic settings where banter is a love language and you appreciate a protagonist who is brilliant at her job but endearingly clueless about her own heart, this book is for you.
