In this fantastical romantic comedy from the author of The Love Hypothesis and The Chemistry of Love, which have become a hit on TikTok, two rival physicists collide in a maelstrom of academic disputes and fake relationships.
Theoretical physicist Elsie Hannaway's multiple lives have caught up with her. By day, she's an assistant professor, marking exams and teaching thermodynamics in the hopes of one day earning tenure. By night, she supplements her nonexistent salary by offering fake girlfriend services, which she successfully pulls off thanks to her knack for making people like her and embodying any version of herself the client requires.
It's actually a great job... until the Elsie-verse she's worked so hard to build comes crashing down. Jack Smith, the arrogant and irritatingly attractive brother of her favorite client, turns out to be the heartless experimental physicist who ruined his mentor's career and undermined the reputation of theorists worldwide. And that same Jack Smith, who heads the MIT Physics Department, now stands between Elsie and her dream job.
She's ready to launch a war of academic sabotage, but... what are those long, penetrating glances? How is it that, when she's with him, she doesn't have to be a different version of herself? Will falling into the orbit of an experimentalist finally get her to put all her theories about love into practice?
