Love Theoretically
$22.99
From the author of TikTok sensations and global bestsellers The Love Hypothesis and Love on the Brain…Rival physicists collide in a vortex of academic feuds and fake dating shenanigans in this delightfully STEMinist romcom.The many lives of theoretical physicist Elsie Hannaway have finally caught up with her. By day, she’s an adjunct professor, toiling away at grading labs and teaching thermodynamics in hopes of landing tenure. By other day, Elsie supplements her meager paycheck by offering her services as a fake girlfriend, tapping into her expertly honed people-pleasing skills to embody whichever version of herself the client needs.Honestly, it’s a pretty sweet gig—until her carefully constructed Elsie-verse comes crashing down. Jack Smith, the annoyingly attractive and arrogant older brother of her favorite client, turns out to be the cold-hearted experimental physicist who ruined her mentor’s career and tarnished the reputation of theorists everywhere. And he’s the same Jack Smith who dominates the physics department at MIT, standing directly between Elsie and her dream job.Elsie is prepared for an all-out war of scholarly sabotage, but… those long, penetrating looks? The way she doesn’t have to be anything other than her true self when she’s with him? Will falling into an experimentalist’s orbit finally tempt her to put her most guarded theories on love into practice?Praise for Ali Hazelwood and her novels:“Ali Hazelwood proves that science is sexy as hell, and that love can 'STEM' from the most unlikely places.

Maybe In Another Life
$22.99
One choice. Two different paths – with stunningly different results. From the bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones & The Six. At the age of twenty-nine, Hannah Martin still has no idea what she wants to do with her life. She has lived in six different cities and held countless meaningless jobs since graduating college. On the heels of leaving yet another city, Hannah moves back to her hometown of Los Angeles and takes up residence in her best friend Gabby’s guestroom. Shortly after getting back to town, Hannah goes out to a bar one night with her friend Gabby and meets up with her high school boyfriend, Ethan. Just after midnight, Gabby asks Hannah if she’s ready to go. A moment later, Ethan offers to give her a ride later if she wants to stay. Hannah hesitates. What happens if she leaves with Gabby? What happens if she leaves with Ethan? In concurrent storylines, Hannah lives out the effects of each decision. Quickly, these parallel universes develop into radically different stories with large-scale consequences for Hannah, as well as the people around her. As the two alternate realities run their course, Maybe in Another Life raises questions about fate and love: Is anything meant to be? How much in our life is determined by chance? And perhaps, most compellingly: Is there such a thing as a soul mate? Hannah believes there is. And, in both worlds, she believes she’s found him. <p> 'Entertaining and unpredictable; Reid makes a compelling argument for happiness in every life.' Kirkus (starred review) </p>
