The Two-Body Problem

The highly anticipated sequel to the instant New York Times and global bestselling phenomenon, The Love Hypothesis. Olive Smith finally has her PhD, and she’s living her happy-ever-after. Well, not quite her ever-after, since postdoctoral fellowships are temporary by nature, but she doesn’t mind: she has her best friends, her research, and best of all, she has Adam. Intense, brilliant, endlessly undaunted by the chaos Olive has smuggled into their shared house, Adam is determined to spend his future by her side. And yet, there are no fairy tales in academia. Being in love with another researcher means navigating the hard reality of clashing schedules, an increasingly grim and ultra-competitive job market, and Olive’s desire to be seen as a formidable scientist in her own right, and not just Dr. Carlsen’s girlfriend. Being with Adam is the most real thing Olive has ever known. So as the pressure tightens and the stakes rise, she’ll have to set all confounding variables aside and learn to trust her heart.
