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.

Current & Unconfirmed Theories

 * 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.
 * 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.
 * Joaquin Morales and Calvin Colby: Many players had different theories regarding the characters.
 * Villains: Based on the descriptions of the sneak peeks, many players believe they will serve as secondary antagonists alongside Martin.
 * Love Interests: As most of the characters who had been featured in sneak peeks prior to the story's release are love interests, it is believed they will be too.

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is working with Koenig: Some players have stated that Sadie seemed a little too eager to decide that McGraw Byrne will no longer represent Marcus Sharpe after the incident with the gunman and that she didn't seem as willing to paint Koenig as a criminal as the others, leading some to believe that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.

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.
