After four lousy boyfriends in a row, chemical engineer Penny Popplestone swears off men until she can figure out why they keep cheating on her. But her no-men resolution hits a snag when the mysterious and superhumanly hot barista at her favorite coffee shop strikes up a friendship with her.
Penny strives to keep things platonic, but when Caleb gives her the kiss of her life, she realizes he wants to be more than just friends. Tired of always being “good little Penny,” she throws caution to the wind and pursues a no-strings fling with the hottie barista. It’s not like they have anything in common beyond scorching physical chemistry, so what does she have to lose?
Only her heart.
Now, this fanfic-reading, plus-size heroine faces an unsolvable problem. What do you do when being apart is unbearable…but being together is impossible?
Advanced Physical Chemistry is the third in a series of standalone rom-coms featuring geeky heroines who work in STEM fields.
Review:
Heartfelt, light, and fun!
The Boyfriend Hypothesis is a tender, passionate rom-com featuring the kind, intelligent Penny who, after finally deciding to swear off finding Mr. Right, decides to have a no-strings fling with the quiet barista at her favourite coffee shop, the sexy, charismatic Caleb, who may turn out to be more of a forever guy than either of them ever expected.
The prose is sweet and spirited. The characters are charming, independent, and reliable. And the plot is a push-pull tale of instant attraction, witty banter, palpable chemistry, friendship, family, light drama, and unconditional love.
Overall, The Boyfriend Hypothesis is a cute, heartwarming, entertaining tale by Nix that’s a great addition to the Chemistry Lessons series with its amusing characters, heartfelt moments, and happy-ever-after ending.
