Description
'Brainy, fun, deeply relatable... This is a debut you don't want to miss, I guarantee it will take up all the bandwidth in your head and heart' - Elena Armas, NYT bestselling author of The Spanish Love Deception
Fake data is out of the question . . . but fake dating?
Neuroscientist Dr. Frances Silberstein has always had success on the brain. In grad school, she turned down a job – and her accomplished boyfriend – to forge her own academic path. Five years later, she's still single, hustling from project to project, and about to face her ex at a high-stakes conference – the same ex who once told her she'd never make it on her own.
When an argument with her meticulous and infuriatingly attractive rival Dr. Lewis North leads to a mistaken assumption that they're a couple, Frances accidentally confirms the misconception, inadvertently putting both their careers at stake. Forced to keep up appearances, Frances and Lewis know that for any scientist worth their salt, faking data is out of the question. But fake dating?
That might just be genius.

There are few things that make me kick my feet like nerds helplessly following their hearts … in spite of their minds. Love and Other Brain Experiments is brainy, fun, deeply relatable and Brohm effortlessly captures all the delicious nuances that come from mixing a high-stakes summer program and a fake-dating charade between academic rivals. This is a debut you don't want to miss, I guarantee it will take up all the bandwidth in your head and heart

Love and Other Brain Experiments was a brainy delight. Brohm plays with my favourite tropes (academic rivals! fake dating! forced proximity!) masterfully; her writing is cheeky and self-aware, but warmed by an undercurrent of sincerity and real heart... I was left charmed and delighted. A stellar debut

The slow burn was so achingly sexy, the way Frances registered each of Lewis' touches, and the whole thing was utterly delicious. Love and Other Brain Experiments is a just-one-more-chapter, heart-palpitatingly romantic delight of a romance that I was thinking about between reads
