Imperfect #1
Imperfect Chemistry
Lucy London puts the word genius to shame. Having obtained her PhD in microbiology by the age of twenty, she's amassed a wealth of knowledge, but one subject still eludes her—people. The pendulum of passions experienced by those around her both confuses and intrigues her, so when she’s offered a grant to study emotion as a pathogen, she jumps on the opportunity.
When her attempts to come up with an actual experiment quickly drop from lackluster to nonexistent, she’s given a choice: figure out how to conduct a groundbreaking study on passion, or lose both the grant and her position at the university. Put on leave until she can crack the perfect proposal, she finds there’s only one way she can study emotions: by experiencing them herself.
Enter Jensen Walker, Lucy's neighbor and the one person on the planet she finds strangely and maddeningly appealing. Jensen's life is the stuff of campus legend, messy, emotional, complicated—in short, 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?

August 10, 2014I really don't feel like I should rate my own book! I might be biased, and perhaps not in a good way.
One of the only things I would like to put in my review of...myself, is this: I hope you laugh. Laughter truly is the best medicine, and my number one goal when I sit down and write a novel is to bring a little joy into someone's (YOUR!) day. To bring you that escapism that I have loved and craved throughout my life, and only occurs when I can fall into a wonderful story.
In addition, I want to do something DIFFERENT. The New Adult genre needs more sub-genres beyond the angst and the damaged characters; the slutty boys and the whiny and virginal girls. These gender stereotypes drive me to write books with stronger/smarter female characters and more sensitive male characters.
Also, some of you have noted that I don't give a lot of description when it comes to the physical attributes of my characters, (the main character especially) and there's a reasoning behind that. I want ANYONE who picks up my book to be able to place themselves into the character's shoes, no matter what you look like, no matter what your background is.
So that's it. I would also like to say a GIANT HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who reads my book. I want to squeeze you all so bad, you have no idea!
Much love,
Mary

IMPERFECT CHEMISTRY is NOT a look into a real-life romance. It's NOT a how-to guide for nerds. It's NOT erotica. If you're looking for those, look elsewhere.
HOWEVER, if you're looking for something sweet, quirky, and laugh-out-loud funny, this is your book! Basically, Mary Frame wrote about the hilarity surrounding a female, horny Sheldon Cooper. You should read it.
Why?
A) it's hilarious
B) the kissy-time/bowchicawowwow is HAWT, yet tasteful
C) The story isn't just about sex. In fact, it's about a helluva lot more.
Overall evaluation? AWESOME story.

Let me introduce you to Lucy London, this prodigy who has obtained her PhD in Microbiology at the mere age of 20 and is a genius scientist.
While the trouble arises in her life of academia, when she's provided grant from the university to study "emotional pathogens", the idea is that emotion is transmittable just like a virus or cold. But, the problem is that she doesn't understand emotions, the one subject that she fails to clear is "People" and she might lose her grant money if she can’t figure out how to study emotions, or more specifically, feelings/passion.
Lucy makes me remember of Dr. Sheldon Cooper from TBBT, in fact, I would say she is the female counterpart of Sheldon ( except a little too horny ), which makes things quite interesting to read.
She's totally blunt and honest when it comes to human interaction and expressing herself, different from normal people.
But the book unfolds how gradually she figures her life outside the Lab and sets her foot outside to find herself friends and eventually figures different aspects of everything around her.
She walks into her neighbor Jensen, the only guy she finds attractive. It’s Jensen who really breaks her out of her shell as their scientific experiment turns into a real friendship then into a romantic relationship. Jensen finds Lucy’s honesty to be refreshing. He feels like he can be his true self around her, which is something he's not used to reveling to anyone. In the end, all of this helps her to figure out a lot about emotions, her clinic work improves, she learns to develop a therapist-client relationship with some of her students and most importantly learns about herself, of how much she is capable of expressing and learning about other's emotions.
While I would admit the fact I had some fair share of chuckles, in the beginning, the vivid sense of humor kept things up throughout the storyline but it was the ending, it wasn't as convincing as the rest of the book. There was nothing wrong with it but then it was just very generic, instant forgiveness and “okay, we’re together again.” The end. Predictable? Exactly.
I like endings to be more meaningful.
The fact that its Mary Frame's debut novel totally goes unnoticed.
So all in all, it's a cute contemporary romance novel, and I loved reading it!
The story, characters...worked for me also because I'm a Microbiologist myself I felt things quite relatable.
Recommended, if you're looking forward to a fast, funny & refreshing read.

Featuring one of my personal favourite tropes (friends-to-lovers romance), between an intelligent STEM heroine and a sweet and dreamy hero, this story definitely hit the spot for me.
Following unfathomably smart but socially uncomprehending college post-grad student Lucy London, this story has a great falling-for-the-girl-next-door vibe going for it.
When Lucy’s college mentor pushes her to explore new areas of her personal life, which she has thus far neglected—like experiencing the benefits of true human connection—Lucy decides to combine her personal mission to build new relationships with her professional goal of scientifically studying emotion as a pathogen.
With this in mind, Lucy sets out to learn about what drives people in their friendships and romantic relationships, bravely and curiously putting herself out there in a way she never has before.
Along the way she befriends outgoing Freya (and her small group of friends) and begins a potentially life-changing friendship and eventual relationship with attractive neighbour Jensen.
With these personal bonds forging a new course in her life, Lucy begins to discover what makes people thrive in relation to their interpersonal relationships, and most rewardingly, she learns about her true self in the process.
Lucy’s story was effortlessly enjoyable, filled with intelligence, wit and plenty of heart to keep me emotionally invested in her journey. Lucy reminded me a bit of a female Sheldon Cooper—she is impressively brainy and inquisitive, but perhaps a bit blunt and apathetic to the human side of things, at least initially. All of this made for a very layered but very fun character to follow.
Lucy’s connection with Jensen was wonderfully genuine. His complicated past and his even more complicated present provided enough emotional meat to make him an appealing love interest. He was a very sweet guy once all his mysterious parts and pieces revealed themselves and I enjoyed watching him fall for the unexpectedness of all that Lucy was.
Lucy’s new bestie Freya was notably the standout character for me. She was funny and relatable, but mostly I just appreciated the way she welcomed Lucy into her life, accepting all of Lucy’s quirks and peculiarities with open arms. It was refreshing to see such a positive and supportive representation of female friendship in a new adult story—weirdly, I find that is kind of shockingly rare.
Ultimately, for a book that’s been sitting unread on my kindle for over half a decade, this new adult, college-set romance proved to be quite the unexpectedly joyful reading experience.

I picked up this book for free at BookBub - which if you don't already know is a great place to find good bargains (and sometimes free ebooks!) on books - for it reminded me a lot of Jane from Neanderthal Seeks Human by Penny Reid and Kaitlyn Parker from Elements of Chemistry by Penny Reid and since you all know how much I absolutely adore Penny's writings - I decided to give this book a try!
And I have to say I loved it! Lucy is an adorable geek! I loved her sense of awkwardness and her foray into the normal social life! Since this book was in her POV - it was very easy for a geeky girl to fall in love with this adorable girl!
Jensen on the other hand - is a little difficult to understand. I would have love to have his POV - but since that didn't happen - the interactions between Lucy and Jensen while not as witty and sassy as I expected - was quite cute without being cheesy enough!
The writing is spot on enough for me actually finish this book in one sitting and enough mystery for me to want to read Imperfectly Criminal - Freya's Story!!

Had a hard time getting past the total nonsense set-up (the heroine has a doctorate in "immunology and pathogens" and is hired to work as a mental health counselor to gain experience for her research on emotions, for which she apparently receives almost no training... there is so much no going on here I can't even).... fortunately it gets much better from there.
Awkward genius heroine, sweet artistic "poor little rich guy" hero, extremely awesome and supporting female friendships. The only other sticking point I had was the heroine's head-scratcher statement that "neither condoms nor birth control protect you from sexuality transmitted diseases". I feel compelled to drop the CDC fact sheet on condom effectiveness in response cdc.gov/condomeffectiveness/brief.html

I friggin' loved Lucy! I really wasn't sure about her character going into this since I figured she would be a hard person to connect to, but I actually didn't have that problem at all. I loved how funny she was without even trying and her view on the world was an interesting one to read about. She didn't understand emotions all that well so then seeing her try to decipher her own had me very intrigued in her.
Jensen was a likable character as well and I enjoyed getting to know him. I really liked how he didn't treat Lucy any differently and was patient with her when there was something she didn't understand. Honestly, Lucy was definitely the star of this book but I didn't mind that one bit. The secondary characters were also amazing and I'm super curious now to read more of this series to get more of them.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this story and it's one I recommend for anyone. It was a well paced and captivated story that was a little unconventional but also unique in the best ways.

Great characters!
I really enjoyed this book. The characters were awesomly written. There were some stereotypes, but there stereotypes because they are sometimes true. Lol! The main character was so funny, and her friend and how they became friends was the best part of the book. I definitely recommend this book to everyone!!
5 stars!

My Review
This was such a fun read!
I really enjoyed the writing, characters, and the story-line.
Lucy was an amazing character. I loved her honesty, straightforwardness, insatiable quest to understand things, and her reactions when she realized she has feelings for Jensen...and her shock when she loses control with him.
Jensen was just perfect for Lucy.
I loved that he accepted her for who she was, and didn't try to change her into someone she wasn't. If anything, her quirkiness and honesty turned him on.
The secondary characters, in particular Lucy's 4 older brothers were great. I liked their protectiveness, the pranks they played on each other, and how involved they were in Lucy's life.
This was a wonderful read, and I look forward to reading more from this author.

Such a sweet "coming of age" story
This book was just adorable. Our heroine was a 20 year old doctor that worked at the college. She started college at 13 and was obviously a genius. However, when it came to socialization she was clueless. I liked her quirky personality and her journey to finding herself. The hero in this read was equally as loveable. While "coming of age" stories aren't my normal preference (because they do tend to have a bit of a "vanilla" feel to them for the most part, as did this book) I am still really glad I read this. I liked the writing style and all of the characters. If you are looking for an easy, light read that's sweet and not full of unnecessary angst, then this will certainly do the trick. I was also quite pleased that this was offered as a freebie. I love it when authors are gracious and do this, and that's why I went ahead and bought the next book of this series that is based on Freya, (the heroine from book 1, Lucy's friend.) I'm hoping to get some follow-ups for Jensen and Lucy in Freyas book as well.

I was going to rate this at maybe a 2 or 3. The writing needed some technical help but it was readable even though Lucy wasn't actually as nerdy as she was supposed to be. I mean, the reader is told that she is terrible at socializing and making friends, but she makes, like, 4 friends right off the bat.
HOWEVER. I am giving this one star because when Lucy and Jensen bone for the first time, she tells him that because she is on the pill and they are both clean, they don't need a condom and "besides, neither condoms nor birth control protect you from sexually transmitted diseases". This is a direct quote and THIS IS NOT FUCKING TRUE. It is true that hormonal BC does not protect against STI's. BUT BESIDES BEING A FORM OF BIRTH CONTROL, PROTECTING AGAINST STI'S IS THE OTHER FUCKING REASON WE USE CONDOMS. And a person who is a giant, fact-loving nerd would know this. Are condoms perfect? No. But that doesn't mean they don't work at all.
For real, if you want to protect yourself from most STI's, use a condom.

*Book was won from a giveaway held by the author*
When I finished reading the book my reaction was basically identical to Hermoine's
I adored this book. All the characters were likable and I seriously want Jensen as a neighbor because who wouldn't want a hot mysterious boy,who would offer to roast you a hot dog in a fire..
While reading the book I became I kept thinking 'If only I had the intelligence of Lucy'. If I started university at a young age like Lucy I would be out all day enjoying the sun binge watch TV shows but unfortunately I don't, therefore I need to spend endless hours revising for my exams.. [Sigh]
Overall I would highly recommend this book. So you my darlings, go and read:]

DNF 85% - hence the 1* (it's not a bad book - I just got bored). The characters and romance lacked that oomph.
Hero: Jensen Walker - starts off as the Tall, Dark, Handsome, Play-boy, Rich, Popular, Alpha cliché with every woman in Campus and Beyond in love with him.
He turns into a Sensitive, Arty, Virgin, Loner-ish, Softy, Poor-Me-Rich-Kid with Mummy-&-Daddy issues to the point he's emasculated.
Now if you're going to deviate from the Extrovert-Jock versus Introvert-Nerd formulaic romance than the direction of the romance requires a more Room With A View style romance than following the cliché.
Heroine: Lucy London - is a Super Nerd, (most likely on the spectrum of Asperger's syndrome).
I initially liked her, she's unintentionally funny, intelligent, mythological and interesting.
However, towards the middle of the book she becomes a bizarre combo of Swooning Fair Maiden and Robot. But neither quite gel.
Also she's meant to be a celebrity campus genius but Jensen's mother doesn't think she's good enough for her dim-witted son??
Additionally, I found her story that she gave up her virginity as an experiment when she was 16 to someone she felt NO attraction to (or even the slightest bit of chemistry) to be unconvincing.
I appreciate she's a scientist, but if you don't even feel anything when you kissed someone, to go all the way for an experiment at 16 just doesn't make sense.
Also, her excuse (at 16) that she wanted to get it out the way doesn't sound plausible as she's not the peer-pressured type to follow societal norms. You'd think she'd be indifferent and far more intelligent than to be subject to such pressure.
I suppose the author wanted to present all the clichés and then tear them up e.g. Womanising Popular Jock turns out to be Sad Loner Virgin. That's great and I like that, but it made the romance lacklustre. Also don't emasculate your hero in the process. It lacked the oomph. If it was written in a different way, this agenda would have worked
The sub-characters are ok, but they all appear to be bimbos (both men and women). It resembled a high school.
Again NOT a bad book. I just got really bored around 70-85% of the book.

This book was absolutely perfect! It was short, sweet, and wonderfully entertaining. I loved the secondary characters just as much as the primary ones, and I felt that there was a perfect balance of how often they were in the story. I really needed a book like this right now, although I have liked some of the books I've read recently--I really needed a sweet, low-angst, cute, almost mindless (but mindless in the BEST way) kind of story. And this book delivered. I'm honestly over the whole everyone-has-a-tortured-and-fucked-up-past trope that seems to be perpetuating NA right now. They're good, don't get me wrong, but I'm tired about reading such sad, sad things even if there is a HEA.
I really loved Jensen's character. He was shy and nervous, but still trusting and I loved his interactions with Lucy. Even at their most awkward they were still adorable and even though I really enjoyed Jensen I think a big part of that had to do with Lucy.
Think of an adorable version of Dr. Brennan from Bones combined with Sheldon Copper from The Big Bang Theory and you've got...Lucy. I think I had a bigger crush on her than I did on Jensen. Every time she opened her mouth, I thought...
I loved that because of her sciency mind there was no bullshit, none of the usual lying and manipulating. No excuses when she did something wrong or realized she made a mistake in the past, hell she just boldly states, “I’m an idiot.” when Freya confronts her about something. It was so refreshing and nice to read about a heroine who realizes how stupid and idiotic girls can be (I can admit--sometimes we crazy!! lol But I don't think of it in a bad way, it's just how it has to be sometimes). So when she said...
Oh dear. I’m turning into a girl.
I knew she was going to be one of my favorite heroines ever. And she was. Honestly thinking about it now this book was more about her and finding her way through love and emotions than it was about the actual romance. I don't want this to scare people away because the romance was still incredible and I enjoyed it very much, but if you're reading this thinking it's going to be some Nicholas Sparks great romance with trial upon trial with an epic...anything, then this isn't what you're looking for. It's still great and I still recommend it, but save it for when you're looking for a light read. :)

Imperfect Chemistry is one of those books that I seriously couldn't put down until I finished because I just had to know what happened.
Reasons why you should read this:
1)Lucy. She's awkward, adorable, and absolutely hilarious. I honestly love her.
2)Jensen. He's the boy-next-door and he's hot, adorable, and an absolute sweetheart. LOVE LOVE LOVE him.
3)Freya. She's sassy, fun-loving, and an absolutely incredible best friend. I'm so ecstatic that Imperfectly Criminal is her story and can't wait to read it.
4)Lucy and Jensen. Their chemistry was absolutely off-the-charts and I absolutely love how their relationship progressed from complete strangers to something out of this world.
Overall, I absolutely loved Imperfect Chemistry and I highly recommend it to everyone because it's such a worthwhile read.

This was a really cute and enjoyable book. It’s a nice slow build romance of a boy who’s misunderstood due to his looks and a girl who’s had no emotional bonding with anyone. It’s a coming of age romance and it’s really cute. So cute even the ex’s become friends lol. It wasn’t anything spectacular. YA romance isn’t my fav sub genre but I’m happy I read it and will prob read the rest of the series during some point. Jenson and Lucy have that cute AWWW romance. They are neighbors in a duplex when Lucy asks Jensen a big favor—does he accept or run off thinking she’s cray?!

Wabi-sabi is a Japanese principle that embodies the idea of transience and imperfection. Like the life cycle. We are born, we get old and we eventually die. Objects are the same, they get old and weathered, but it’s not necessarily a bad thing. It’s all a part of the cycle of nature. Wabi-sabi is about appreciating the beauty in our naturally imperfect world.
One word: feel-good.
Imperfect Chemistry was the perfect light read that I exactly needed at this very stressful time in my life right now. Thank you literary gods for this feel-good book. I will be forever grateful. Mehehe.
Also, can I just say that the scientific parts were actually part of my favorites (in my attempt at trying to be more science-y).
"There are many theories that attempt to explain why humans cry in response to heightened emotions. One states that weeping serves as a signaling function, letting other humans know the emotional condition being experienced with the hopes of contriving an altruistic response in the viewer. Another theory is that crying serves a biochemical function, releasing toxins from the body and reducing stress. Some scientists have found that tears may contain a chemosignal, and when men sniff women’s tears, they display reduced levels of testosterone and sexual arousal."
It's also a big plus how their relationship was built up. Lucy and Jensen's awkward conversations and witty banters definitely kept me going with this book. Their tandem also gave me a good laugh, and I loved how their personalities just kept on wonderfully clashing with each other.
"Well, there’s a difference between finding someone attractive and actually liking someone and wanting to be with them for more than just the carnal part."
"Explain."
"When emotions are involved, everything is just...more."
"More what?"
"More exciting. More nerve-wracking. More intense when it’s good, and more painful when it’s bad."
Also, so much love for the sizzling sexual tension between them, especially when they kept denying the palpable pull between them.
"I think I might have difficulty going to sleep while half my body is touching someone else. For a few minutes, all I can think about is his heartbeat, the feeling of his chest rising and falling next to me, and the sound of his breathing as he falls asleep.
But miraculously, somehow, when I least expect it, I fall."
5 FULL-OF-CHEMISTRY STARS!
"If you care about someone, it’s okay for them to affect you, as long as you are aware, and they aren’t willfully trying to hurt you. The more you open up to people, the more emotions you will experience because you’re going to care about them and about how they perceive you."

Imperfect Chemistry begins when Lucy London, resident genius, needs to come up with a study on passion before she loses her grant and all of her dreams end. Lucy hasn't ever really had friends, or any kind of emotional relationship at all. Now, that being said she's has a really good family, but she's always been a little different. Lucy sets out to figure out how to fix her problem. She enlists the help of a girl she met recently, and her next door neighbor who she is attracted to.
At first the next door neighbor, Jenson, refuses to help her. But after some time these two start to become friends, and he's more willing to help. Along the way Lucy realizes that she has more than just platonic feelings towards him and things start to heat up a little bit. But she doesn't understand how to do relationships, and Jenson isn't sure how to trust anymore.
This book was truly a breath of fresh air! I was immediately sucked into the story right from the start. And it just got better and better as I continued reading.
The characters were the other amazing thing about this story. Lucy was an extremely different type of heroine. She's blunt, honest, but not in a rude way. And she's unsure of how to have connections with emotions, but she's willing to learn. And Jenson while being an alpha male in a way, was totally different from most guys you read about now. He was a major breath of fresh air. I adored his character.
The only downside to the story was not getting more of Jenson and Lucy together. And towards the end it seemed to rush a little bit towards the end. But I still really enjoyed the whole book. It was very good!

This was a delight! Quirky, funny and a quick read about a certified genius Lucy London who needs to start experimenting in her own life in order to come up for a viable hypothesis about emotions as a pathogen. All told from her perspective, Lucy was blunt and was socially stunted so much so that she reminded of the characters from The Big Bang Theory TV show Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler. She decides that her next door neighbor and by all accounts a social butterfly, Jensen to help her out in her endeavors. The side characters also brought comedic relief and this together with Lucy's straightforwardness and blunt honesty made it an enjoyable read.

Spoilers ahead
I'm in the middle of book 2 so quickie review
h is a neuro divergent female who's study for her grant deals with emotions. Since she doesn't understand relationship dynamics and has no friends she sets out to find someone to interview.....enter the H. Her neighbour who's been recently cheated on by his childhood sweetheart and has a complicated relationship with his family
******
This was cute as hell, I loved the H
I really did not need the third act breakup 🙄
Virgin H
Non Virgin h (she only had sex one time as a kinda experiment)
Slow burn
**I needed a better epilogue considering the H's situation at the end. This lowered my rating, I hate wondering how my mcs are doing after I close a book

How do you measure the effect of emotions? Lucy Landon has been given a grant to study emotions as a pathogen but her work has come to a standstill and she is being forced out in the “real world” to get some life experience to get her work going.
How to study emotions:
1. Take one genius believing emotions are logical
2. Add one grant to study emotional pathogens
3. Slowly add friendship
4. Turn up the heat in the form of the next door neighbour
5. Analyse the results
This book was hilarious and sweet, Lucy was so clueless and had absolutely no comprehension of emotions – or tact and boundaries, she bears a striking resemblance to a young Bones. To get her work going Lucy decides she need to observe and at times, when appropriate, experience emotions her fellow students experiences. She decides to go look for some of those she’s been in recent contact with in the hopes of learning something new.
Another couple of things I really liked about this book were; no love triangles and no insta-loves! And not to forget the slightly temperamental Freya – can’t wait to read her story.

This was a cute, fun book. I wish there was more at the end but overall, I really liked it. I love quirky, unique characters and Lucy was very endearing

Cute romance novel from the perspective of a young autistic woman who falls in love with her neighbor. I thought the book was humorous and well thought out, however I feel like it would have been even better if less autism clichés would have been used. I'm an autistic woman myself and while I share many aspects of the main character, my experience as a person with an invisible disability is quite different from Lucy's. I would've preferred it if some struggles typical for female autists (masking, diagnosis later in life, being ostracized by people without proper knowledge of autism) had been part of the book.

I already know that I'm going to reread this every time that I'll need to laugh out loud especially because of the characters they were sooo cute together.

Actual Rating=4.5 stars
Oh my god!!! I loved this book. I saw in a few reviews that this is a lot like Neanderthal Seeks Human and let me tell you, Neanderthal Seeks Human was my favorite!!! God I love that book and I've read it more than 5 times. Completely without skipping any part and that's saying a lot when it comes to me :D
Boy was I surprised with this. This was such a fun read. I loved this one a lot!! It wasn't close to NSH but i still liked it a lot. Lucy was such a cutie and she as someone else mentioned was a female Sheldon Cooper.
Jensen was surprise, not as great as Quinn (I mean who can go up against Sir McHotpants?) but still cool enough. The plot was simple no drama (my favorite type) Now let's get down for my favorite part, Freya! I loved that woman. She was simply an amazing best friend. Now I am dying to read her book. Her story with Dean would be a hoot. I loved her humor!
That aside I would like to recommend this to anyone who has a bit of geek within themselves. An amazing read and I would like to see more of Ms. Frame's books.

I read this New Adult Romantic Comedy with great pleasure and speed. Thank you. A New Adult Romantic Comedy. We need more of these.
It isn't all laughs but it is a sweet and engaging romance with great secondary characters. The heroine has the social awkwardness of the genius female stereotype but its a troupe I enjoy so Yea for me!
The hero is a great person. Wow. Imagine that. There are surprises along the way and a very enjoyable HEA.
I am excited about the next book in the series and any others that follow.
Mary Frame is a promising new romance writer and I will pre order the her next book for certain.
The book has its rough patches. The character development needs work. I have no idea what Lucy looks like--she has long hair and a good body under her practical clothes. This is all I know. What are her degrees in exactly?
Why does the hero focus on the subject matter he does? His parents are very flat and uncomplicated.
There are just loose threads here and there and belief I have to suspend that if I thought about too much would make me crazy.
But overall, I am charmed and looking forward to this writer's development.

i really enjoyed this one, considering it was a kindle freebie i wasn't expecting much!
Lucy is very proper, she does not interact with people at all although she is very clever and even went to university at 13.
Lucy has to try and find an experiment to keep her funding, however she can not get close enough with people to be able to do this.
She decides to do a social experiment on herself and young people to understand attraction and passion.
Lots of funny one liners and awkwardness.
This book very much reminded me of Celeste from the Flat out books as she was very similar.

I struggled with the beginning of this book, because the premise of the heroine was just too much (a post-doc at only 20 years?). There was a lot of science talk that I felt was there just to feature science talk. However, when the story of the main characters began it picked up and I ended up mostly enjoying it.
The hero was a bit atypical for the NA genre and I liked him a lot. I loved the honesty between him and the heroine. I loved that there was no instalust or instalove. I also loved the side characters (which is why I'll be jumping straight into Freya's book!) - even though some of them were fairly stereotypical (especially the gay friends).
The book is short and therefore some parts of the story are not that deeply developed (so in all honestly not really a 4-star read), but I'm rounding the rating up because I've had a bunch of disappointing reviews, plus this was a Kindle freebie which I always appreciate.

POV: 1st person (h)
story: 3.5

heroine: Lucy, 20y, post-doctorate student. 4 stars. Her character was a bit over the top (what with the genius thing and her being so anti-social), but I liked her and her honesty.
hero: Jensen, 20s, pre-law student and an artist. 4 stars. He was very nice, but his character wasn't as developed as the heroine's (since we only have her POV).
secondary characters: 4
couple/romance: 3.5
instalove? No. They go from strangers to somewhat friends to lovers.
steam: Low.
angst: Lowish.

It just did not work for me. The characters were just boring? Lucy had bad sosial skills, but she was just... she lacked something to make me hold interest. So did her lover-interest.
