Whether you like movie poster covers or not, I'm getting this one for sure 😊

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. Convincing Anh that Olive is dating and well on her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees.

That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor - and well-known ass. 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.

I've been contemplating whether to read Deep End or PSM next. Looks like the book gods gave me my answer! $9

I just wanted to share a book I wrote, not advertising just wanted to share my love for Belgium and Belgian history. In America we learned about the invasion of Belgium in 1914 but had no idea about the refugees that left Belgium. Since living in Belgium, I have learned so much that I wrote a historical fiction where one of the two main characters is from Leuven (my favorite Belgian city btw) who seeks refugee in Normandy, France. Is there any part of Belgian history you find interesting?

So you’ve seen my boobs?’ Lili wryly asks, referencing (spoiler!) a sex scene that happens when Olive and Adam [played by Tom Bateman] finally get intimate for the first time. ‘It was a discussion between me and Clare [Scanlon, the movie’s director], like, “We want it to be a bit of a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it sort of nip slip, rather than full frontal,”’ she explains. ‘It was my first time signing a true nudity rider, where you specify exactly what the camera is allowed to see. It was kind of exciting. I’ve never been afraid of nudity. It was really important for the fans of the book to get a juicy sex scene.’

The sequence is most definitely sexy, with a heavy emphasis placed on the female gaze. However, unlike the book, which dedicates two whole chapters (and many explicit descriptions) to the intimate moment, the on-screen version is decidedly shorter. ‘It could have gone a little harder, but, to be honest, I think anything more than what it is wouldn’t have fit with the rest of the film. No movie was ever going to do a 10-minute-long sex scene.’

I just had some fun with this concept. If I like the cover of the book -movie pairing I might get it.

I know that it was most likely not the intention, but Olive has Canadian colors in these three images put together like this, which is funny because Olive is Canadian! 🇨🇦

Also happy Canada Day, Canadian Hazelnuts!
