Advanced Physical Chemistry

Chemistry Lessons Series, Book 3

De: Susannah Nix

Narrado por: Caitlin Kelly

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? Contains mature themes.

Pretty cute story

I found the entire series to be good. I don't think I laughed at this one like I did the first and second book but nonetheless this was a really cute story.

beautiful!

I think Susannah Nix googled me, stalked me around for a little bit, and wrote a book about my life, just tweaking a few things to make it fit in her LA world. without giving away too much personal information, I am a chemical engineer from VA with a barista boyfriend who came from a military family... my boyfriend and I had a kick out of this book just seeing how many things related to the two of us. we even had the same exact conversation as Penny and Caleb did when he took her over to his house and told her not to clean it! It was a wonderfully cute read and I can't wait to read more of this series!

Fantastic book - deserved the RITA award!

I very much enjoyed this book! 4.5-stars.

My first Susannah Nix and definitely won't be my last. I read this one first (even though book 3 in the series), because it was a RITA Award winner (2019). I have the first 2 in the series and will be reading them very soon.

I was very much taken with the character of Penny and how body positive she was, being a bigger girl. She had just experienced a few break-ups after guys cheated on her, and the start of the book it happened again, for the 4th time... she kept thinking she was doing something wrong, not that she was picking the wrong guys.

Enter Caleb, "hottie barista" at the coffee shop where she and her knitting group liked to meet (also where she goes for her coffee break every morning during "work from home"), and where the boyfriend brought his side-chick, on a night he didn't realize she was going to be there. Caleb normally didn't speak to her, but came to check on her in the bathroom where she ran to hide out and cry after spotting the cheating bf. Caleb had admired her from afar, but she always had a boyfriend so he kept his distance, being shy and reserved. She had also admired him (obviously, with the nickname she and her knitting friends had given him), but he seemed unapproachable.

They begin chatting and strike up a newfound friendship. It builds from there - and what a beautiful friendship and relationship it is! I highly recommend this book!

Loved the whole series!

4 stars: The books / series were good, and based on my audience - i recommend rereading it = i would recommend it to others.
I only give 5 stars in my top 10% of books.

I tell others about the story and or book(s) in regular conversation to expose the author.

Cute, sweet story.
Great way to past the time. I read all 3, and would read a 4th.
