Laws of Attraction Theory Page

Welcome to the Laws of Attraction Theory Page. This is a place where you can discuss confirmed, debunked, and unconfirmed theories from the Laws of Attraction series.

Confirmed Theories

 * Release Date: Many players theorize the book's release date will be set on April 28 to take the place of Foreign Affairs. The theory is confirmed on April 21 as PB released a trailer video along with the release date.
 * Koenig Chemical will make a return: After Koenig Chemical faced few consequences for their actions early in the book, as well as the MC theorizing that McGraw Byrne wasn't done with them, many believed that they should show up again later in the book. This was confirmed in Chapter 12, when it was revealed that Aliana had been spending a lot of time with Koenig Chemical's CEO, Peter Koenig.
 * Reason for the murder: Given that Aliana is an environmentalist, players speculate Peter Koenig killed her because he viewed her as a threat to his company, similar to how Warner Rafferty saw the Rising Tides MC as a threat to Monteverde. This is confirmed in Chapter 14, when you and Aislinn discover classified Koenig Chemical documents in her phone, showing that she wanted to expose Koenig for everything he and his company had done.
 * Sadie is working with Koenig: Some players have stated that Sadie seemed a little too eager to decide that McGraw Byrne will no longer represent Marcus Sharpe after the incident with the gunman and that she didn't seem as willing to paint Koenig as a criminal as the others, leading some to believe that she is working with him. Some have also pointed out how suspicious it is that a single gunman managed to infiltrate a high-profile law firm. Alternatively, Koenig may be threatening her. This is proven to be true in Chapter 15, where you find out that she tampered with evidence, is helping Koenig cover up his crimes, and Aliana's phone is in her office. Koenig offered Sadie a position on the Juvenile Cancer Prevention Fund.
 * Relationship with Beau: Tying with the theory that Sadie is corrupt, it is believed that your relationship with Beau will determine whether or not he helps you expose her. If your relationship with him is high enough, he supports you and turns against Sadie.
 * Nepotism: It is believed that the reason why Beau is a Senior Associate at McGraw Byrne is because of nepotism on Sadie's behalf. This theory has gained more traction given that Sadie gets mad at you if you decide to tell her the truth about Beau taking credit for the Rothswell case. This is proven to be true in Book 1, Chapter 16, when Beau confesses to Gabe that Sadie got him the job.
 * Plot of Book 2: It is believed that a large portion of Book 2 will revolve around Martin trying to force us to do things we're not comfortable with and we'll have to gather dirt on him. This is confirmed as of Chapter 4, as Martin tries to ruin our career every step of the way, so we decide to set up our own firm to fight him.
 * MC will start a competing business: Another possibility which is alluded to by writers' interviews is that we, along with our allies, will leave McGraw Byrne and start a separate company, which will then put us in opposition to our former colleagues. This is confirmed at the end of Book 2, Chapter 4, as we leave the firm with Gabe and Aislinn.
 * Gigi Sinclair: Given that we seem to be able to flirt with Gigi in Book 2, Chapter 5, there is a theory that she has broken up (Or will break up) with her boyfriend/girlfriend off-screen, and that she might become a love interest or a future fling. While she is not an official love interest, there is a chance to have a threesome with her and her new boyfriend without strings attached in Book 2, Chapter 8. In the same scene, it's also revealed that she has broken up with her previous partner.
 * Sadie will return: Because Sadie never gets arrested for her numerous crimes at the end of Book 1, it is believed that she will try to take her revenge on the MC in Book 2 for ruining her career. She does return at the end of Book 2, Chapter 9, albeit just to ask for help from the MC.
 * Ricci & Associates members: Since the Ricci & Associates staff board's revelation in Book 2, Chapter 5, players have developed theories on the potential staff members they'll be able to recruit.
 * Beau McGraw: Beau has shown his dedication to his job's principles, and Martin's preference for rich and powerful clients over underprivileged ones will most likely rub Beau off the wrong way. This is strengthened at the end of Chapter 13, after Beau says that he wants to join our firm, and confirmed in Chapter 14.
 * Calvin Colby: Given that he's a powerful politician, a lot of players believe that he is the one behind the conservatorship scheme involving Aislinn's grandmother and many other patients, and that in the end, he will be the Big Bad of the story. At the same time, since Martin and McGraw Byrne are his lawyers, they will most likely defend him in court when the truth comes out, and we will have to win and take them both down. This is strengthened in Chapter 12 when we find that Calvin is indeed behind everything, and confirmed in Chapter 15.
 * Series will end at Book 2: If the theory about Calvin being the Big Bad is confirmed, once we defeat him, McGraw Byrne will most likely be destroyed as the resulting scandal will be too much for the firm to bear, and everyone who represented Calvin will be blacklisted from the profession, so there won't be any story left to tell as a result. This is confirmed after PB announced that Book 2, Chapter 16, will be the series finale.

Debunked Theories

 * Love Interests: After the release of the first sneak peek, many players theorize the book will have three love interests that have the same format as Foreign Affairs. One of them is gender customizable and the other two appearances are fixed. This has not transpired as only Your Character is gender-choosable and there are 2 love interests, plus other characters who it is possible at certain points to get intimate with.
 * Standalone: Due to the book taking a short break, many players theorize it will be a standalone book. This is debunked as PB confirmed the book will have a sequel via a response on Instagram on August 20, 2021.
 * Book 2's release date: Some players theorize that Book 2 will be released in October, as it is the only month in the autumn with no release plans announced yet. PB debunked this when they revealed in Choices Insiders September 2022 that the book will be released this month.
 * MC will take over as Senior Partner: Some players believe that Martin may be ousted as Senior Partner at one point in Book 2, and that MC will take his place. This is debunked as we resign from McGraw Byrne and build our own firm instead, and because it seems very unlikely that we'll abandon Ricci & Associates and return to McGraw Byrne.
 * Calvin Colby: As most of the characters who had been featured in sneak peeks prior to the story's release are love interests, it is believed he will be too. This is debunked when it's revealed that he is a villain and the mastermind behind the conservatorship scheme.
 * Aislinn's Nana: There is a theory that Martin has a hand in Aislinn's grandma being placed under conservatorship. This gains traction in Book 2, Chapter 6 when Joaquin tries to stop us from looking deeper into the case. However, it is later debunked as it is revealed that the people behind the conservatorship scheme are Calvin Colby, Erica Carpenter, Karl Goodall, and Elias Ritter.
 * Ricci & Associates members: Since the Ricci & Associates staff board's revelation in Book 2, Chapter 5, players have developed theories on the potential staff members they'll be able to recruit.
 * Joaquin Morales: If Joaquin doesn't end up being a villain, or does and redeems himself, he could be one of the potential recruits. This is weakened at the end of Chapter 13, after Beau says that he wants to join our firm. This is debunked in Chapter 14 where it's revealed that the last recruit is Beau. However, in Chapter 16, Gabe eventually does hire him after the trial.
 * Joaquin is a killer: Some players are suspicious of Joaquin's behaviour and role in the story, and believe that he is nothing more than Calvin Colby's henchman, and that he's the one that actually killed Hank, under Calvin Colby's orders. This is eventually debunked.
 * Joaquin Morales: As most of the characters who had been featured in sneak peeks prior to the story's release are love interests, it is believed he will be too. This is weakened with the option to only have one-night stands with him, meaning that he is most likely a Not-Meant-to-be instead. This is debunked in Chapter 16 where he is not an option for a love interest.
