I’m on the fence about Perfect Chemistry. <br /><br />Nic, I had put it off for so long but finally my book club chose it and I figured it was about time I read something by such a highly regarded author. <br /><br />Jenny, That’s how I felt! Good to hear others experience “the lag” I try to give myself a little time between reading the book and writing the review to account for this. <br /><br />Leanna, You’re welcome! I hope you like this. I’ve seen mixed reviews with some people loving it more than PC and others liking it less. <br /><br />Peep, Oh, I’ve heard that about the sequel. I liked the way this ended, even if it was open. I don’t think I’ll be reading the sequel. It seems like it would be unnaturally dragging things out. <br /><br />A Canadian Girl, Hope you like it! I’m still not completely sold on the premise of Perfect Chemistry, even with the rave reviews. <br /><br />Aylee, Yep, sometimes I get so swept up in a book and then only afterwards start to see the things I didn’t love.Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-29018014022353972672011-02-03T02:14:12.546-05:002011-02-03T02:14:12.546-05:00Wow, I know exactly what you mean when you say tha...Wow, I know exactly what you mean when you say that you loved the book while reading it but then after you finish, looking at the book as a whole, you realize you didn't like it as much as you thought.<br />I've never read a Simone Elkeles book before but I think i'd like to try this one sometime.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-69680619140733771452011-02-02T00:31:15.837-05:002011-02-02T00:31:15.837-05:00I've actually never read anything of Elkeles&#...I've actually never read anything of Elkeles' though I've seen tons of positive reviews for Perfect Chemistry.

I've definitely read a book before where I finished, swore I was in love with it, then went to write the review and realized maybe I didn't like it as much as I originally thought. Despite that fact, this does sound like an interesting read, thanks so much for your honest take on it!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-25957384345003079902011-02-01T01:52:53.182-05:002011-02-01T01:52:53.182-05:00I have this in my reading stack.

I know what you mean by liking a book less after you've read it and processed. However, the storyline of this sounds different and I think I might read it, despite the unrealistic parts. Great review! :)Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15725171241844395913noreply@blogger.com
