This fun, quick-paced rom-com kept me interested, engaged, and laughing.

Here’s the Amazon synopsis:

Lucy London puts the word genius to shame. Having obtained her PhD in microbiology by the age of 20, she’s amassed a wealth of knowledge, but one subject still eludes her – people. The pendulum of passions experienced by those around her confuses and intrigues her, so when she’s offered a grant to study emotion as a pathogen, she jumps on the opportunity.

Enter Jensen Walker, Lucy’s neighbor and the one person she finds appealing. Jensen’s life is the stuff of campus legend: messy, emotional, and complicated. Basically, the perfect starting point for Lucy’s study. When her tenaciousness wears him down and he consents to help her, sparks fly. To her surprise, Lucy finds herself battling with her own emotions, as foreign as they are intense. With the clock ticking on her deadline, Lucy must decide what’s more important: analyzing her passions…or giving in to them?

My take:

I loved the characters in Imperfect Chemistry, especially Lucy in all her socially awkward, entertaining glory. The author. Mary Frame, did a great job with dialogue, internal monologue, and developing relationships between the characters. It’s not all totally believable but I’m totally okay with suspending disbelief for a fun read. That’s exactly what this book was!

Bottom line: 

If you’re looking for an enjoyable romantic comedy with characters you can love, read it!
