So Hannah Fry turns up on The Celebrity Traitors (recruited as a Traitor in episode three, no less, which — the betrayal) and I spiralled into a full maths-nerd-crush rabbit hole instead of doing actual work. Turns out the woman who wrote the algorithm for love has basically colonised my bookshelf and my browser history. This is my very unhinged, very Dublin tribute list — half book club, half true crime podcast, ALL avoidance of my own novel deadline. Pints were involved.

Name	Thing	My take
1The Mathematics of Love (book)	Her first book, on dating algorithms and divorce odds	Read this in one sitting on the DART and missed my stop. Worth it (the missing the stop, not just the book).
2The Celebrity Traitors (series 2)	She's recruited as a Traitor in episode three — betrayal of the FAITHFULS variety	She went in with spreadsheets and a Turing-inspired plan and still got turned. Maths doesn't save you from Claudia Winkleman's castle, apparently.
3Alan Hanna's Bookshop	Rathmines bookshop that actually stocks her books	Found The Mathematics of Love wedged between gardening and true crime. Felt like fate (or just good shelving).
