Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
Brooke sees Dylan in a new light during his trip, and they agree to have a little no-strings-attached fun while he’s in town. Their flirty banter and easy relationship makes Brooke wonder why they never dated while they were in high school. But when Dylan pushes for more, Brooke’s insecurities get the best of her as she wonders how their different lives will match up. She’s a student; he’s a famous model.
This is a cute friends to lovers romance, but it touches on some deeper subjects like mental illness, strained parental relationships, eating disorders and abortion. Those topics shaped who Dylan and Brooke are, and play a big part in their journey. As a couple, Brooke and Dylan are likable, lovable characters. He is so supportive and is just there for Brooke always, no questions asked. Even when she has a family issue after they split. And even though Dylan has always been her best friend, Brooke learns there is so much more to him than just a handsome face. I loved their fall from friends to more!
I haven’t read the other stories in this Chemistry Lessons series, but Brooke’s group of friends is a close-knit bunch, and there is a great support system there between them. I learned more random (and gross!) whale facts than I ever imagined I would in this cute story. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
