Hi hello how are you? When we finished The Soulmate Equation in 2020 and started to think about what we’d like to do next, we knew one thing: we wanteHi hello how are you? When we finished The Soulmate Equation in 2020 and started to think about what we’d like to do next, we knew one thing: we wanted FUN. In a year that kept us home and away from family, friends, readers, and each other, we were ready to get out into the world—even if only through our characters—and have an adventure. We were nervous at first. The seeds for Something Wilder had been quietly taking up space in the back of our brains for years, but it was part of a conversation with one of our heroes, Sarah MacLean, that became our mantra: be fearless and take big swings. Movies like Romancing the Stone had adrenaline, and adventure, and deep, heart-clenching swoons. We felt post-pandemic romance needed more of that. Writing Something Wilder was the most fun we've ever had writing a book before. It was madcap, bumbling, bad-guy-chasing, heart-in-the-throat fun. It was heart-swooping, second-chance, kissing-in-the-rain fun (with only one tent). It's classic CLo but also unlike anything we've ever written before, and we hope you love it just as much as we do! Thank you for reading, we adore you!

It is contemporary romance's unicorn: the elusive marriage of deeply brainy and delightfully escapist. Ali's debut is fantastically clever, nimble, swoony, and romantic. Adam is the brainy, reserved, tender hero we clamor for but more importantly, this book has women in STEM, lots of women truly and authentically in STEM, and when it gets into the hands of women like me, we will then press it into the hands of every other woman like us and say, "Read this now." Because The Love Hypothesis has wild commercial appeal but the quieter secret is that there is a specific audience, made up of all of the Olives in the world, who have deeply, ardently waited for this exact book....more
