The Columbus Book Festival is just weeks away; prepare for this literary celebration through reading a book from one of its featured authors! New York Times Best Seller Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood is the third book in her collection of STEM romance novels. Theoretical physicist Elsie Hannaway is an adjunct professor by day and fake girlfriend by night, a side gig she uses to make up for her nonexistent paychecks. This allows Hannaway to take advantage of her innate people-pleasing skills while diligently catering to the needs of her clients. The one thing standing between Hannaway and her dream job is her favorite client’s older brother, a cold-hearted experimental physicist who ruined the career of her mentor and continues to undermine the reputation of theorists everywhere. On July 15, you can join Hazelwood at the Columbus Metropolitan Library on S. Grant Street as she discusses exclusive details about her latest charming rom-com.
