Bloomsbury presents Love and Other Brain Experiments by Hannah Brohm, read by Norma Butikofer '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. *** Perfect for fans of: STEM romance Enemies to lovers Fake dating Forced proximity *** Readers LOVE Hannah Brohm: 'LOVE AND OTHER BRAIN EXPERIMENTS is the intellectually seductive, trope perfection, lanyard-melting debut of the year.'
