“A science test that claims to accurately screen for proof of love is the clever and original background for this satisfyingly emotional novel by Hadley Leggett. Two very different women bitterly regret taking part in the test—an overburdened mother who happens to be married to the man behind the test, and a journalist out for revenge. Waiting for the truth about both the test’s authenticity and each woman’s motive to be revealed was a true on-the-edge-of-my-seat reading experience. Women’s fiction at its exciting best.” —Kitty Johnson, Amazon bestselling author of Five Winters and Where the Sea Lavender Grows

“What if love could be measured via a brain scan? As soon as we heard the premise for Not a Perfect Science by Hadley Leggett, we were hooked! We loved this compelling deep dive into a celebrity marriage in trouble, a mother yearning for her lost identity, a perilous love triangle, and a neighbor determined to stir up big trouble. Underlying it all is Leggett’s trademark sharp commentary, this time trained on gender dynamics in both the home and workplace. Kudos to Leggett for another thought-provoking page-turner!” —Tracy Dobmeier and Wendy Katzman, coauthors of Ten Thousand Light Years from Okay

“Hadley Leggett deftly weaves a story of female friendship, marital distress, and betrayal while shining a light on the inherited systems that don’t always serve us. Not a Perfect Science is a delightful exploration of messy relationships, beautifully illustrating that true love, in all its forms, can’t be measured by any machine. Beautifully written and thought-provoking!” —Laura Barrow, author of Call the Canaries Home and The Marriage Slip
