This hilarious book, complete with fabulous art and a die-cut cover highlights the importance of books and the joy of reading!

Winston the Book Wolf

I just want to think about the smile in his voice, and how he called instead of texting, and how he asked if it was okay, and how he said I was his favorite person.. It’s like I’m watching a movie I’ve already seen before. Or watching a car crash in slow motion.. Or sitting on the train, waiting for that moment between Court Square and Queensboro Plaza when the train comes up for air and you see the skyline and everything is all right in the world.. Maybe it could be like that.

As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships--but her best friend does, and that's what got her into this situation.

Which is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford's reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive's career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support and even more unyielding...six-pack abs.. Suddenly their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.
