Meet Art and Mimi Brotherton.
Devoted siblings and housemates, they're bound together by the tragic death of their parents. They agree on not quite everything.
Art thinks people are incapable of making sensible decisions, especially when it comes to love. That's what algorithms are for.
Mimi knows her brother is a mathematical genius, but thinks maths isn't the answer to everything.
When Mimi decides she needs more from life than devoting herself to her brilliant brother, she starts looking for love. But Art has a condition: that she find her soulmate using a strict mathematical principle. Initially, things seem promising. That is, until Mimi meets Frank: a romantic, spontaneous stargazer, and also a mathematician. But definitely not algorithm-approved.
As Art's mistrust of Frank grows, so do Mimi's feelings, and the siblings' relationship is tested to breaking point. Something about Frank doesn't quite add up, and only Art can see it . . .
The Theory of (Not Quite) Everything by Kara Gnodde is a tender, intelligent and uplifting novel about brothers and sisters, true love in all its forms, and how life is more than just a numbers game . . .

      Gnodde examines the blurry lines of unconditional love between siblings in her spirited debut. Mimi and Art Brotherton have lived together since their parents died by suicide 12 years earlier. The arrangement is not without sacrifice: Mimi, 30, feels burdened by taking care of Art, 40, a mathematical genius who is dedicated to deciphering an unsolvable problem. Mimi wants to find love, but Art is protective of her and insists that if she starts dating, she must use a website called Matrix, because he approves of its “elegant algorithm and an intrinsic mathematical logic.” Contrary to Art’s plan, though, Mimi meets Frank, another mathematician, outside of the app. Sparks fly instantly, and Art feels threatened by Frank’s presence and worries Frank will steal his work. By the third act, Mimi learns secrets Frank kept about his past, Art is hurt in a car accident, and Mimi wonders if Art was right about Frank after all. Gnodde takes a while to get going, but once the narrative picks up, it really gets to the heart of Mimi’s quest for the truth about the people in her life. Readers will be rewarded for sticking around. Agent: Charlotte Seymour, Johnson & Alcock.
