2.1.2021 - The Love Proof

 The Love Proof by Madeleine Henry

Many thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for gifting me a digital ARC of Madeleine Henry's new book - 4.5 stars!  I was a big fan of Breathe In, Cash Out - Henry's debut novel - and definitely was thrilled with her sophomore book!

Sophie is a child prodigy ready to put Yale University's physics department on the map as she enters for her freshmen year.  She is interested in the theory of time - she believes you should be able to see time like you can see life's other properties.  But when she meets Jake, a determined finance freshman, her focus changes.  For better or worse, they become inseparable.

I'm being purposely vague on the synopsis of this book.  Part of the enjoyment is seeing how the book plays out these characters' stories.  This is a smart book (lots of physics thoughts!) that really makes you think about what's important in life and how our relationships can help or hinder our dreams.  Henry's writing is spot on - you will feel for these characters and their intentions, especially knowing their backstories.
