Love was never part of the hypothesis... but neither were kids, snack drawers, or kissing in lab coats.
Years after Olive Smith faked a relationship with the brooding, brilliant Dr. Adam Carlsen to survive academia, she's now living her most unpredictable experiment yet: marriage, motherhood, and a house full of crayons, coffee mugs, and dog hair.
With a career in science she loves, a husband who kisses her like he's still falling in love, and two tiny humans who keep stealing her side of the bed, Olive is constantly rewriting the formula for what happiness looks like. And Adam - loyal, logical, soft only for her - is learning that not every solution comes from data.
From late-night snack fights to backyard stargazing, thunderstorm sleepovers, and wine-fueled tears on the bathroom floor, The Carlsen Equation is a warm, witty, and wildly tender look at what happens after the "happily ever after."
Because some love stories don't end - they just evolve.
