S

I always like a story when characters from different backgrounds meet and find they have more in common than they think they ever would, and end up helping each other out. The "chemistry" (haha) between the characters was good and she did a good job writing, however I didn't give it more stars because I didn't like all the crude language in it, I understand why it did, but it is young adult and thought it was too much.

Perfect Chemistry!

Any additional comments?

Loved it! I really enjoyed this story of two people overcoming obstacles despite being from different social backgrounds. Love conquers all! Definitely of perfect chemistry.

Best Book Ever!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Perfect Chemistry to be better than the print version?

I thought the audio version was better than print. they made the characters real and made me see how they can make them into real life character's

Who was your favorite character and why?

Alex. Alex was just an amazing person he cared about Brittney and made Brittney fall for him when she didn't want to but ended out to be the right chemicals put together.

Have you listened to any of Roxanne Hernandez and Blas Kisic ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've never but this was my first it was amazing how they brought the character's to live and made me imagined what they were like I even dreamt them together.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes, It made me cry, laugh, scream with excitement and kept me from putting it down. I give a thousand stars to whoever made the book.

READ THIS NOW

i love it smmmmmm. please read this. its the perfect book to read! 10/10

Enjoying... but not 5 star work~!

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I found the book good but its hard to rate something like this after reading Bryce Courtney or Tolken... entertaining but not riveting.

Awful female narrator, good story

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I struggled to listen to this and know I would have enjoyed it much more if I just read it.

What other book might you compare Perfect Chemistry to and why?

A modern day Romeo and Juliet of sorts.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The female narrator portrayed the teenage girls as if they were 10 years old. The story was written better than how she voiced them. The male narrator was good.

Was Perfect Chemistry worth the listening time?

Not worth my listening time, but a good story to read.
