By day, she’s an adjunct professor, toiling away at grading labs and teaching thermodynamics in the hopes of landing tenure. The many lives of theoretical physicist Elsie Hannaway have finally caught up with her. 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. By purchasing a ticket to this event, you agree that you are fully vaccinated and will wear a mask during the event. There will be a book signing after the conversation portion of the event. Tickets include a copy of LOVE, THEORETICALLY. This ticketed event will be held off-site at Chicago Waldorf School (5200 N Ashland Ave).

Agent: Thao Le, Sandra Dijkstra Literary.Women & Children First is thrilled to host Ali Hazelwood for a conversation and book-signing to celebrate the release of LOVE, THEORETICALLY! For this event, Ali will be joined by authors Danielle Jackson, Sonali Dev, and Shirlene Obuobi! Tickets are required for this event and include a copy of Love, Theoretically. Readers will cheer for Jack and Elsie and their bumpy road to happily ever after. Geeky science jokes, humorous student emails, and expertly delivered snarky banter enhance the narrative.

Meanwhile, sunshiny Elsie’s imposter syndrome rings true as she navigates the cutthroat world of academia (“STEM academia is 98 percent politics and 1 percent science”) and learns that her mentor and idol has feet of clay. The ensuing STEM-themed enemies-to-lovers romance is simply a delight, though it’s complicated by the fact that Jack believes Elsie is his brother’s girlfriend. Jonathan Smith-Turner, a legendary young physicist whose views are at odds with Elsie’s. While interviewing for her dream job at MIT, Elsie’s worlds collide: her favorite fake-dating client’s brother, whom she knew as Jack Smith, is actually Dr.

The fake dating trope gets a techy update via Faux, an app connecting clients with pretend partners for hire, through which Boston adjunct professor Elsie Hannaway finds side gigs while she searches for a better-paying job in theoretical physics. Bestseller Hazelwood ( Loathe to Love You) delivers a decidedly quirky and thoroughly charming tale.
