Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated Perfect Chemistry (Perfect Chemistry, #1) in Books
Apr 27, 2018
This book is like Romeo and Juliet with a cute twist. in reality, if i really look at it from an author's perspective, it was pretty cute. the characters were developed instantly, and the sentinces drew me in. the prose was actually pretty good. aside from the sex, it was a good book.
yeah, it's got some sex in it. i mean, c'mon. it's about <i> chemistry </i> between the two most unlikely people. but whatever. it actually wasn't too bad.
though i could tell a lot about the author's morals. or lack therof.
the first paragraph in the book is: "Everyone knows I'm perfect. my life is perfect. my cloths are perfect. even my family is perfect. and although it's a complete lie, I've worked my butt off to keep up the appearance that I have it all." I mean, that pretty much develops a character instantly, doesn't it?
I'd have to go with these ratings:
storyline: 3/5
prose/sentences/grammar etc: 3.5-4ish/5
characters: 5/5
but again, sap city, people.
the weak points of this book:
the sex
the language
the sappy sappy sappy.
I realize this isn't my best review, but i'm trying to keep it honest here.
until next time,

I marvel at the mind of someone who can write something as original and beautiful as this - it’s poetry in prose form, and I loved reading every word.

Overall, it didn’t really spark any new thoughts on a complex issue, nor did it offer any resolution or new commentary about what an overturn of Roe v Wade would have on society.
Very disappointing. Not recommended.

I really enjoyed this, the trials and tribulations, the reality of life on the move and the beginning of their schooling was thoroughly enjoyable to read. The prose appears to develop as Laura gets older, and that is lovely. The introduction of newer characters like Nellie and Christy really help liven up the story and bring a breath of fresh air into the family dynamic.
Overall it progresses nicely, picks up right where they left off and is lovely :)
