Rice Cooker Theory (Theories Series #1)
In an era where love is measured by followers, likes, and perfectly timed replies, the idea of an organic encounter feels almost fictional. Still, many cling to it, quietly hoping that love can exist beyond dating apps and Instagram mutuals.
Hazel, a fourth-year Iska with zero romantic experience, is one of them. A hopeless romantic craving change, yet too afraid to take risks in a world that feels overly curated online. One night, she stumbles upon a TikTok theory, the Rice Cooker Theory, and it makes her wonder: maybe love doesn't come when you chase it, but when you finally try.
So she does.
Cafe hopping. Running. Saying yes to unfamiliar spaces and unfamiliar people, all in search of that so-called "organic encounter." But every guy she meets only proves one thing: the rice cooker was never really turned on... or worse, there was nothing to cook in the first place.
Just when Hazel is about to give up, when she's convinced that theories are just theories, something unexpected happens.
The question now remains:
Was the Rice Cooker Theory right all along... or was it never about anything at all?
