The author’s right to remind us that we all have Calliope moments, ‘cause she was a difficult character for me to connect with. I think I’m a lot more like Jonathan, so Calliope’s need for people and attention was kind of foreign to me. I loved watching these two finally connect, though, and I could easily sympathize with their frustration at juggling schedules. I kind of adored where we leave this pair, and my fingers are crossed that we’ll get to come back and read more in this world at some point in the future.

Chemical Reaction by Merry Farmer is a very good story. Shows how the deep hurts and betrayals as kids can stay with you until you learn to get over them and deal with them. And maybe alone the way find love. my opinion. Thanks

Merry Farmer is the best. I loved this story. Calliope is all alone with everyone around being in a relationship and she isn't.
Then the accident happens and Johnathan and Calliope finally have a chance at love. Will it work?


I will recommend this book.
